Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a grocer purchased 200 kg of rice at rupees 25 per kg is sold 80 kg it at a gain of 10% and 40 kg at a loss of 4% at what rate per kg should he sell the reminder to give 8% on his total investment

One kg of rice costs Rs 25
Therefore cost price of 200 kg will be 200 x 25
= Rs 5000
Now cost price of 80 kg rice will be 80 x 25
= Rs 2000
Selling price of 80 kg rice sold at a gain of 10% will be
= 100 + Gain % / 100 x C.P
= 100 + 10 / 100 x 2000
= 110 / 100 x 2000
= Rs 2200
Cost price of 40 Kg rice sold at 4% loss = 40 x 25
= Rs 1000
Selling price of 40 Kg rice sold at 4% loss = 100 – Loss % / 100 x C.P
= 100 – 4 / 100 x 1000
= Rs 960
Now selling price with profit of 8% on total value = 100 + gain % / 100 x C.P
= 100 + 8 / 100 x 5000
= 108 / 100 x 5000
= Rs 5400
Now total weight of rice sold = 80 + 40 = 120 kg
Remaining weight of rice to be sold = 200 – 120 = 80 kg
Total amount obtained from selling rice = 2200 + 960 = Rs 3160
Now difference will be 5400 – 3160 = Rs 2240
So the rate of rice will be 2240 / 80 = Rs 28
