Answer 1

$ 35.25 /kg

Multiply 1/3 (25 kg) by 0.95 (which is the 5% loss) to get how much the seller got for the 1/3 mangoes. This gives you $712.50

To find how much he spent alltogether multiply the 75 kg by 30/kg, which gets you $2250. To get 10% more than that multiply it by 1.1. This gets you $2475 as the value he needs to gain 10% profit.

Subtract $712.50 from $2475. This gets you $1762.50. Lastly, you divide this price by the 50 kg.

This gives you the rate of $35.25/kg
