Question

A trader mixes three varieties of groundnuts costing rs 50, rs 20 and rs 30 per kg in the ratio 2: 4 : 3 in terms of weight, and sells the mixture at rs 33 per kg. What percentage of profit does he make?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

rs 50,rs 20 and Rs. 30 per kg in the ratio 2 : 4 : 3

find the cost of 1 kg mixture

50*2+20*4+30*3=270

2+4+3=9

270/9=30

costprice=30

sellingprice=33

profit = 3

profit percent = 3/30 * 100=10%

Answer 2

There is 10% of profit he makes.Hence, there is 10% of profit he makes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of three varieties = 2:4:3

Cost of each three varieties i.e. Rs. 50, Rs.20, Rs. 30 respectively.

So, Total cost would be

$2\times 50+4\times 20+3\times 30\\\\=100+80+90\\\\=270$

Selling price of each varieties = Rs. 33

Total selling price would be

$(2+4+3)\times 33\\\\=9\times 33\\\\=Rs.\ 297$

Since selling price is more than cost price.

So, Profit % would be

$\dfrac{297-270}{270}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{27}{270}\times 100\\\\=10\%$

Hence, there is 10% of profit he makes.
