Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of 1 kg of wheat (variant 1) =₹20

Cost of 26 kg of wheat (variant 1)=26x20=₹520

Cost of 1 kg of wheat (variant2) =₹36

Cost of 30 kg of wheat (variant2)=30x36=₹1080

Total cost Price =₹(1080+520)

=₹1600

Total selling Price=(26+30) kg x 30

=56x30

=₹1680

Now,

Profit =S. P. - C. P.

Profit=₹(1680-1600)

=₹80

profit %=(80/1600) x 100

profit%=5%
