Question

a shopkeeper bought three varieties of apples: one costing Rs. 147 per kg, second costing Rs. 150 per kg and third costing Rs.153 per kg and he mixed these apples in the ratio (in term of weight) 17 : 19 : 21 respectively. If he sold all the apples at Rs 151 per kg, then what is his overall profit/loss?​

Answer 1

Answer :-

Let us assume that, the shopkeeper bought 17x kg , 19x kg and 21x kg of all three variety .

so,

→ Total CP = 147*17x + 150*19x + 153*21x = 2499x + 2850x + 3213x = Rs.8562x

and,

→ Total SP = 151 * (17x + 19x + 21x) = 151 * 57x = Rs.8607x .

then,

→ Total profit = SP - CP = 8607x - 8562x = Rs.45x .

therefore,

→ Profit % = (45x * 100) / 8562x = 0.53% (Ans.)
