Question

A shop keeper mixed 3kg tea powder @ rs 180 perkg with 2 kg of tea powder @ 130 per kg.If he sells the mixturea at rs 216 per kg.What was his profit pecentage?

Answer 1

Cost of 3kg tea powder = 180*3 = 540

Cost of 2kg tea powder mixture = 130*2 = 260

Total cost of 5 kg tea powder = 540+260 = 800

Cost price of 1 kg tea powder = 800/5 = 160

Selling price of 1 kg tea powder = 216

Profit = SP - CP= 216-160 = 56

Profit % = profit/cp*100 =56/160*100=  35%
