Question

A shopkeeper has 50 kg of rice, out of that he sells some at 8 % gain and the rest at 18 % gain. He gains 14 % in all. Find the amount of rice sold at 8 % profit.​

Answer 1

Answer:

20kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

total 50 kg

let x be sold at 8% profit,

SP=108%x

and remaining (50-x) sold at 18% profit

SP=118%(50-x)

over all gain is 14%

114%of 50

so,

108%x+118%(50-x)=114%of 50

108x+5900-118x=5700

10x=200

x=20
