Answer 1

Answer:

The price of the fine quality is Rs 14.80 per kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have a total of 40+100= 140kg of rice at Rs 12 per kg

And we know that the 40 kg of broken rice are Rs 5 per kg

140(12)-40(5)= 100(x)

1680-200= 100x

1480= 100x

14.80= x or more elegantly:

x= 14.80

The price of the fine quality is Rs 14.80 per kg.
