Question

A grocer mixes 26 kg of tea which cist 20 a kg with 30 kg of tea costs 36 a kg and sells the mixture at 30 kg. His profit percentage

Answer 1

The cost of 26 kg tea @20 rs/kg is 520 rs.

The cost of 30 kg tea @36 rs/kg is 1080 rs.

So the entire cost of purchase is 520+1080=1600.

Now he sells at 30 rs a kg.

Total amount of purchase is 26+30= 56 kg.

The total amount of sell is 30×56= 1680.

So the profit is 1680-1600= 80

So the percentage of profit is 80×100/1600= 5.

The answer is 5%.
