Cost of 15 kg of dal @Rs. 14.50 per kg= Rs. (15*14.50) = Rs. 217.5
Cost of 10 kg of dal @Rs. 13 per kg= Rs. (10*13)= Rs. 130
Total amount of mixture = (10+15)= 25 kg
Total cost of mixture= Rs. (217.5+130)= Rs. 347.5
Selling price of 1 kg of mixture= Rs. 15
Selling price of 25 kg of mixture=Rs. (15*25)= Rs. 375
Profit= Rs. (375-347.5)= Rs. 27.5
