Answer 1

Hey!

========

Shopkeeper mixed 3kg of tea powder @rs.180 per kg

Total cost = 3*80 = 540 rs.

2 kg of tea powder @rs.130 per kg.

Total cost = 2*130 =260

Ratio parts= 3:2

Total parts = 5.

If he sells mixture for 216 per kg then,

216*5=Rs1080

Total Cp =260+540=800

∴Loss= 1080-800 =RS280

Loss percent = $\frac{280}{800} * 100 = 35%$

Hope you are helped!

Cheers!
