Given : A particular drink requires 3 different ingredients.
purchased at the rate of Rs. 10, 8 and 6 per liter respectively.
mixed in the proportions of 3:4:5
To Find : If each liter of the drink is sold at 50 percent profit, what is
the sale price of the drink (in Rs. Per liter)?
Solution:
mixed in the proportions of 3:4:5 in
3k , 4k and 5k liters purchased
Total = 3k + 4k + 5k = 12k
Cost of 3k = 10 * 3k = 30k Rs
Cost of 4k = 8 * 4k = 32k Rs
Cost of 5k = 6 * 5k = 30k Rs
Total Cost = 30k + 32k + 30k = 92k Rs
Cost for 12k litres = 92k Rs
cost for 1 litres = 92k/12k =92/12 Rs
= 23/3 Rs
drink is sold at 50 percent profit,
SP = (23/3) + (50/100)(23/3)
= (23/3) + (1/2) (23/3)
= (23/3) ( 1 + 1/2)
= (23/3) (3/2)
= 23/2
= 11.5 Rs
the sale price of the drink (in Rs. Per liter) = 11.5
