Eesha has a wheat business. She purchases wheat from a local wholesaler of a particular cost per pound. The price of the wheat of her stores is $3 per kg. Her faulty spring balance reads 0.9 kg for a KG. Also in the festival season, she gives a 10% discount on the wheat. She found that she made neither a profit nor a loss in the festival season. At what price did Eesha purchase the wheat from the wholesaler ?

• Faulty spring balance reads 0.9 kg for a kg" means that she sells 1 kg for the price of 0.9 kgs, so she looses 10% of the price because of the faulty spring balance. She looses another 10% because of the discount.
  So, she actually sells 1 kg for $3×0.9×0.9=$2.43 and since at that price she made neither a profit nor a loss, then Eesha purchase the wheat from the wholesaler for $2.43.

• sp of 1kg=$3
  due to faulty balance->
  1kg becomes 0.9kg
  10kg becomes 9kg
  sp of 9kg=3*9=$27
  but in actual sp of 10kg = $27
  => sp of 1kg = $2.7
  for 10 per discount ->>
  sp 1kg becomes 2.7*90/100= $2.47
  for no profit, no loss-> sp=cp= $2.47

• 1 kg of Wheat=3
  0.9 kg of wheat=3*0.9=2.7
  
  Now she gives 10% discount per kg(Here 1kg is 0.9)
  So,10/100*2.7=0.27
  Finally,SP-Discount=CP
  CP=2.7-0.27=$2.47

• esha sells 0.9 kg in 3rs
  1 kg in =3/0.9 rs
  now she gives 10% discount so price per kg=3/0.9*0.9=3
  as no profit no loss so she purchases it for=buy price=sell price=3

• 1kg is shown as 0.9kg
  so,
  1/0.9 kg is shown as 1kg
  1/0.9 kg is sells as 1kg
  actual selling price of 1/0.9kg is $3
  due to 10% discound seling price of 1/0.9 kg is $2.7
  so,
  1/0.9 kg = $2.7
  llly, 1kg = $ (2.7*0.9)/1 = $ 2.43
  so,
  actual selling price is $2.43
