Answer: The vendor should sell the potatoes at Rs. 9 per kg to gain 22%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total money spent by the vendor in purchasing the potatoes
= 25 × 7 + 15 × 8
= 175 + 120
= 295 Rs.
Toal kg of potatoes = 25 + 15 = 40 kg
In order to make the profit of 22%, he should gain amount
= 295 + 295 × 22/100
= 1.22 × 295
= 359.9 Rs.
Therefore, he should sell the potato at the rate
= 359.9/40
= 8.99
≈ 9 Rs. /kg
Therefore, the vendor should sell the potatoes at Rs. 9 per kg to gain 22%
