Answer:

750 profit

Explanation:

Given :

Profit of 10 on white cement

Loss of 5 on Grey cement

Number of white cement sold = 325 bags

Number of Grey cement sold = 500 bags

Total profit made on sale of white cement :

10 * 325 = 3250

Loss made on sale of Grey cement :

5 * 500 = 2500

Total profit or loss :

3250 - 2500

= 750

Profit value is greater than. Loss value (hence, total profit of 750 was made).
