Question

A shopkeeper mixes two variants of sugar in the ratio 1:2. The first variant
costs * 24 per kg, while the other costs? 27 per kg. If the mixed sugar is
sold at the price of ? 32.5 per kg then find the profit/loss incurred by the
shopkeeper
​

Answer 1

Answer

Rs. 6.5 per kg (Profit)

Steps

let the ratio be of the mixture be x and 2x  

then x + 2x = (24+27)  

•°• x= 17  

therefore the shopkeeper mixed 17 kg of sugar costing Rs 24/kg  

and 34 kg of sugar costing Rs 27/kg  

therefore total cost of sugar = {(17*24)+(34*27)}= rs 1326  

it means (17+34)kg of sugar cost rs 1326 for the shopkeeper  

then 1kg of sugar cost rs 26 for the shopkeeper  

if shopkeeper sold the mixture at rs 32.5/kg

there is a profit of Rs 6.5 per kg
