Let yash sold x kg vegetables.
Loss incurred = 10%
Total loss incurred = Rs. 144
Total loss = 10% = 144
Total cost price = 100% = 1440
Selling price of vegetables per kg = Rs.40
0.9 × cost price = 40
$(cost\;price = 40 \times \frac{{10}}{9} = \frac{{400}}{9})$
x = 1440 ÷ 400 ÷ 9
x = 32.40 kg
Loss incurred = 10%
Total loss incurred = Rs. 144
Total loss = 10% = 144
Total cost price = 100% = 1440
Selling price of vegetables per kg = Rs.40
0.9 × cost price = 40
$(cost\;price = 40 \times \frac{{10}}{9} = \frac{{400}}{9})$
x = 1440 ÷ 400 ÷ 9
x = 32.40 kg

CP =X per Kg
Loss=10%
Total loss amount=10%X=>10*X/100=144
=>0.1*X=144
=>X=1440
10%loss=(90/100)*1440
=>Total=1296
Weight of veg.=1296/40=32.40
Loss=10%
Total loss amount=10%X=>10*X/100=144
=>0.1*X=144
=>X=1440
10%loss=(90/100)*1440
=>Total=1296
Weight of veg.=1296/40=32.40
