Answers
Answer:
PROFIT% = 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
CP of 50 kg of sugar at the rate of Rs.18 per kg = Rs.18 × 50 = Rs.900
CP of 70 kg of sugar at the rate of Rs.15 per kg = Rs.15 × 70 = 1050
Actual CP = Rs.900+1050 = Rs.1950
SP of 120 kg of sugar = Rs.19.50 × 120
= Rs.2340
Here, SP > CP. So profit.
Profit = SP - CP
= Rs.2340 - 1950 = Rs.390
Profit % = Profit / CP × 100%
= 390/1950 × 100%
= 20 %
Ans : Profit % = 20%
Answer:
Rs. 17.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of sugar bought at 13.50 per kg =80 kg
Cost price of this set of sugar =80×13.5= Rs. 1080
Amount of sugar bought at 16 per kg =120 kg
Cost price of this set of sugar =120×16= Rs. 1920
Total cost price =1920+1080= Rs. 3000
Total weight of sugar =80+120=200 kg
∴ To gain 16% profit, Selling Price =
100
116
×3000=3480
Selling price per kg =
200
3480
= Rs. 17.40
