Answer 2

Answer:

11.25 kg tea is sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of 1 kg tea be x.

The selling price of 1 kg tea is Rs. 48.

$x+\frac{20}{100}x=48$

$x+0.2x=48$

$1.2x=48$

$x=40$

The cost price of 1 kg tea is 40.

Profit on 1 kg tea is

$Profit=SP-CP=48-40=8$

Profit on 1 kg tea is 8. Let y kg tea is sold. So, the profit of y kg tea is 8y.

$8y=90$

$y=\frac{90}{8}=11.25$

Therefore, 11.25 kg tea is sold.
