6. Ramesh bought 16 kg of rice at 12/kg and 20 kg of rice at 15 kg. He mixed them and sold the mixture for 20/kg. Find his gain or loss per cent in whole transaction

​

Answer 1

CP of 16 kg rice = 12 rs

CP of 20 kg rice = 15 rs

SP of Mixed rice = 20 rs

CP of 16 kg rice + CP of 20 kg rice = 12+15= 27 rs

He sold them for 20 rupees

loss = CP - SP

Loss = 27 - 20 = 7 rupees

Ans : He Losses 7 rupees.

Hope it helpful to you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Gain- 46.34%

Step-by-step explanation:

CP1 = 16 ×12 = rs 192

CP2 = 20×15 = rs 300

Total Cp = 192+300= 492/-

Total quantity= 16+20=36

SP = 36×20= 720/-

>Profit= 720-492= 228

Hence P%= (228/492)×100= 46.34%
