Answer 2

The profit is $46\dfrac{46}{49}\ or\ 46.94\%$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A trader sells one type of sugar at 10 rupees per  kg. and suffered a loss of 20%. While he sells.

The cost price of sugar was: $\frac{10}{80}\times100 =12.5$

The other type of sugar at Rs. 15 per kg and  makes a profit of 25%. Now he mixes both type.

The cost price of other type of sugar was: $\frac{15}{125}\times100 =12$

It is given that trader sells mixture at 18 rupees per kg.

The cost price of 2 kg of sugar is: 12.5+12=24.5 rupees.

The selling price of 2 kg of sugar is: 18×2 =36 rupees.

Thus, the profit is: 36-24.5=11.5  ruppes.

The profit% is: $\frac{11.5}{24.5} \times100=46\dfrac{46}{49}\ or\ 46.94\%$

Hence, the profit is $46\dfrac{46}{49}\ or\ 46.94\%$.
