Question

Hari bought 20 kg of rice at 36 per kg and 25 kg of rice at 32 per kg. He mixed the two
varieties and sold the mixture at 38 per kg. Find his gain per cent in the whole
transaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hari bought 20kg rice at 36 per kg=20×36=720

Hari bought 25kg rice at 32 per kg= 25×32=800

20kg+25kg=45kg.

He mixed the two varieties and sold the mixture at 38per kg =45×38=1710

total cost price =720+800=1520

total selling price =1710

profit =S.P -C.P

=1710-1520

=190

profit %=S.P -C.P /C.P ×100

=190/152×100

=0.125×100

=12.5%
