Answer 1

Answer:

8.5%(approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a shopkeeper mix 25kg of certain grain priced at Rs 30 kg with 25 kg of the some grain of another variety priced at ₹40kg

Therefore cost price is,

=25X30+25X40

=750+1000

=1750

If he sells the mixture at ₹ 38 kg

Now selling price,

=50X38

=1900

Now selling price >cost price

Profit=SP-CP

=1900-1750

=150

PROFIT %=profit/CPX100

=150/1750X100
