Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of 38 kg rice at the rate of Rs. 54.50/kg = 38 × 54.5 = 38 × 109/2 = 19 × 109  = Rs. 2071

Cost price of 45 kg rice at the rate of Rs. 62/kg = 45 × 62 = 90/2 × 62 = 90 × 31 = Rs. 2790

Cost price of 55 kg rice at the rate of Rs. 48/kg = 55 × 48 = 110/2 × 48 = 110 × 24 = Rs. 2640

Total cost price = 2071 + 2790 + 2640 = Rs. 7501

Total quantity of mixture = 38 + 45 + 55 = 138 kg

Selling price of the mixture = Rs. 65/kg

Total selling price = 138 × 65 = Rs. 8970

Profit percentage = (8970 – 7501)/7501 × 100 = 19.58% ≈ 19.6%
