✮ A shopkeeper procures 150kg of grains at the rate of Rs 18 per kg . He sells it at a profit of 5%. Find selling price of the grain per kg...??

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

$\green{\underline\textbf{Given...}}$

✮ The cost of 1 kg grains = Rs. 18

$\green{\underline\textbf{SoLution...}}$

First we have to find the cost of 150kg grains...

⠀⠀---➣ 150 × 18

⠀⠀---➣ 2,700

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

We know that...

⠀⠀---➣ SP = ( 100 + Profit % ) × total price

⠀⠀---➣ SP = ( 100 + 5/100 ) × 2,700

⠀ ⠀---➣ SP = 102 × 27

⠀ ⠀---➣ SP = 2,835

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

Now...

• Profit = SP - CP

• Profit = 2,835 - 2700

• $\boxed{\sf{\red{\:Profit\:=\:135}}}$
