Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{red}{Pink}{Answer}}$

Given:

CP = 4500

Profit on 1/3 of the of the sugar = 10%

Amount = (4500/3)*(110/100)

= 150*11 = 1650

Profit = 1650 - 1500 = 150

Total amount required = 4500*112/100 = 5040

Total profit should be 5040 - 4500 = 540

Required profit on the remaining part of the sugar = 540 - 150 = 390

Let the profit on the remaining part of sugar be x

amount by selling 2/3 of the sugar =

(4500)*(2/3)*(x/100) = 390

= 30x = 390

= x = 390/30 = 13

Therefore, profit on the remaining part of the sugar = 13%

hi tanishq  hope it helps you

plz mark me as brainliest

please

Step-by-step explanation:

Net worth of total sugar =

rs 4500

1/3 of total sugar =1/3*4500=1500

10% of 1500=150

so,he get rs 1500+150=1650 when he sold 1/3 of total sugar at 10% profit.

He must gain 12% profit on total sugar

so, total sugar sold at rs 4500+540= rs 5040

he had already gained rs 1650

so, now he want rs 5040-1650=rs 3390

he had left with sugar worth rs 4500-1500=3000

Now, let the gain percent on 2/3 of sugar be x

so, x% of 3000 = 3390-3000

x/100*3000= 390

x*30=390

x= 390/30

x= 13

Therefore,he must sold the remaining sugar at 13% gain so as to get 12% gain on total sugar
