Question

A shopkeeper mixed 34 kg wt of sugar which costs * 22.50 per kg wt with 29 kg wt of sugar
which costs 15 per kg wt. At what rate must he sell the mixture so as to gain 5% on the tota
investment?​

Answer 1

Answer:

CP of 34 Kg sugar = 34 x 22.50 = 765 Rs

CP of 29 kg sugar = 29 x 15 = 435 Rs

Total CP = 765+435 = 1200 Rs

and total weight of sugar = 34 + 29 = 63 Kg

Find SP on 5 % gain

SP = (100 + gain %)/100 x CP

= (100 + 5)/100 x 1200 = 1260 Rs

Hence rate must sell the mixture so as to 5 % gain = SP/Total weight of sugar =

1260/63 = 20 Rs/per kg
