"It is said that this is an arithmetic problem that can test whether a person has business acumen. If you get it right, you don't have to go to work and go to business. If you get it wrong, you should just go to work. Mr. Jiang sells beef. He buys beef at 48 yuan per pound in the early morning. After dinner, the market price is 36 yuan per pound. The customer bought two kilograms and gave Mr. Jiang 200 yuan in fake money. Mr. Jiang didn't have change, so he asked his neighbor to change 200 yuan. The next day, when the neighbor was depositing the money, he found that the money was fake and was confiscated by the bank. Mr. Jiang compensated his neighbor 200 yuan. How much did Mr. Jiang lose in total?

4x48＋(200-4x36)+200=448 yuan. A loss of 448 yuan is too bad.

248 yuan, 144 of the 200 yuan he exchanged with his neighbor was in Mr. Jiang's hands, so he only lost 48 yuan from selling the beef, plus the 200 yuan he compensated his neighbor, a total of 248 yuan.

Why add 200 yuan?

lcn1992

48 * 4 + 200 - (200 - 36 * 4) = 336;

I lost 212 yuan! I only bought one pound of beef for 48 yuan, and it was only 36 yuan per pound on sale, so I lost 12 yuan. I also bought another 2kg, but there was no original price or purchase price, so I didn't lose money. Plus the fake money of 200 yuan. A total of 212 yuan

Oh hahahahaha, let me think, at that time I felt like I gave my neighbor another 200 yuan

Receiving 200 yuan in fake money means losing 200 yuan. No matter how you deal with it, if something that should have been real becomes fake, it means you are losing money. Besides, the purchase price of beef is 48 yuan per catty, and the big sale is 36 yuan per catty. You lose 12 yuan per catty, and you lose 48 yuan for four catties, which means a total loss of 248 yuan, not counting other costs such as wasted labor.

2 kilograms is 4 catties, common sense, brother. Would you buy something that costs less than 100 yuan and give the boss 200 yuan?

The loss is 200 (fake money) + 48 for 4 pounds of beef, so the total loss is 248

I don't understand

I just want to know, how come Master Jiang only bought one pound of beef but sold 2 kilograms? Master Jiang's scale must have been short of two pounds. He deserved the loss.

-200 + (36 - 48) * 4 = -248

Aren’t the ones above considered change?

The description is not rigorous. The purchase price of 48 yuan per catty refers to the unit price. The purchase volume must be much more than 1 catty.

Posted by Typing Code All Night on 2018-8-23 10:00 2 kg is 4 jin, common sense, brother. Would you pay the boss 200 yuan for something that costs less than 100 yuan?

2 catties = 4 jin, 4*36=144, there is nothing wrong with paying 200 yuan

wuxianshuchuan

The 200 yuan change I exchanged later was compensated with 200 yuan, which is the same as the change. The actual cost is 4*48=192, 4*36=144, and the change is 200-144=56, so the cost + change = loss, 192+56=248, a total loss of 248 yuan

Copy accounting method, expenditure of the butcher 48x4=192, neighbor 200 yuan counterfeit bill + 200 yuan change 200-36x4=56, total 200 yuan counterfeit bill + 448 yuan income, neighbor 200 yuan (change), customer 200 yuan counterfeit bill, total 200 yuan counterfeit bill + 200 yuan change balance = income - expenditure = -248 yuan.
