TO DETERMINE

The profit percentage

EVALUATION

Here it is given that A shopkeeper mixes 5 packets of 2 kg rice costing ₹25/kg

So total amount of rice = ( 5× 2 ) kg = 10 kg

So the total price of 10 kg rice

= ₹ ( 10 × 25 )

= ₹ 250

Also 3 packets of 5 kg rice costing ₹30/kg

So total amount of rice = ( 5× 3 ) kg = 15 kg

So the total price of 15 kg rice

= ₹ ( 15 × 30 )

= ₹ 450

So total amount of the mixture

= ( 10 + 15 ) kg

= 25 kg

Total price

= ₹ ( 250 + 450 )

= ₹ 700

Now he sells the mixture at ₹35/kg

Total selling price

= ₹ ( 35 × 25 )

= ₹ 875

∴ Total profit

= ₹ ( 875 - 700 )

= ₹ 175

Hence the profit percentage

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{175}{700} \times 100 \: \% }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{1}{4} \times 100 \: \% }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = 25 \: \% }$
