Gautam buys 20 litres of milk for ₹400. How many litres of water should be added to it, so that by selling the mixture at cost price, he can make 25% profit?
Answers
Given:
Quantity of milk bought = 20 liters
Amount = ₹400
To find:
Liters of water added to the milk, so that by selling the mixture at cost price, Gautam can make 25% profit.
Solution:
We will assume that water is available free of cost.
If Gautam wants to make 25% profit:
25% profit = 25/100 * 400 = ₹100
1 litre of milk costs ₹400/ 20 = ₹20
To make a profit of ₹100 he would have to replace 100/20 = 5 litres of milk with water.
Therefore, Gautam must add 5 litres of water to make a profit of 25%.
Given : Gautam buys 20 litres of milk for ₹400.
To Find : How many litres of water should be added to it, so that by selling the mixture at cost price, he can make 25% profit?
Solution:
Cost price of Milk = Rs 400
MIlk = 20 Litre
Cost price per litre = 400/20 = Rs 20
Profit to make = 25 %
Profit = (25/100)400 = Rs 100
Selling Price = 400 + 100 = Rs 500
Selling Price per liter = Cost Price Per litre = Rs 20
Mixture to be Sold = 500/20 = 25 Litre
Milk available = 20 litre
Water to be added = 25 - 20 = 5 Litre
5 liters of water should be added to it
