Answer:
he purchased first type of rice 80 kg at Rs. 27 per kg
therefore the cost price of 80 kg rice = Rs. 27*80 = Rs. 2160
he purchased 2nd type of rice 120 kg at Rs. 32 per kg
the cost price of 120 kg rice = Rs. 120*32 = Rs.3840
total quantity of rice = 80+120 = 200 kg
total cost price of 120 kg rice = Rs. 2160+3840 = Rs. 6000
% gain = 16%
total gain = (cost price * %gain)/100
= rs 6000 x 16/100 = rs 960
selling price = cost price +gain
= 6000+960
=Rs. 6960
selling price of 200 kg = Rs. 6960
selling price of 1 kg = Rs. 6960/200 = Rs. 34.80
hope this helps you.

At the price per kg = Rs 27
Again, grocer purchased rice = 120 kg

=> 2160 + 3840
