Question

A trader mixes 26 kg of rice at rs 20 per kg with 30 kg of rice of other variety at rs 36 per kg and sells the mixture at rupees 30 per kg what is the profit percentage

Answer 1

Answer:

C. P of 26 kg rice =Rs. 26 x 20 = 520/-

C. P of 30 kg rice = Rs. 36 x 30 =1080/-

Total C. P of (26+30) 56 kg rice = 520+1080=1600/-

Therefore, C. P of 1 kg rice =1600 /56 = 200/7

S.p of 1 kg rice = 30/-

Profit = 30 - 200/7 = 10/7

Profit% = 10/7 * 7/200 * 100%

=5%
