hasan buys two kinds of cloth materials for school uniforms,
shirt material that costs him RS 50 per meter
and trouser material that costs him Rs 90 per meter.
------------------------------------
for every 2 meters of trouser material he buys 3 meters of shirt material.
Quantity Equation: s = (2/3)t
-------------------
he sells the materials at 12% and 10% profit respectively.
his total sale is Rs 36,660.
Value Equation: [1.12*50]s + [1.1*90]t = 36,660
56x + 99t = 36,600
-------------------
how much trouser material did he buy?
------------------
Substitute to solve for "t":
56(2/3)t +99t = 36,600
136.3333t = 36600
t = 268.46 meters
s = 178.97 meters
