70 kilograms of sugar
Explanation:
There is a gain of 12 percent
therefore, x + x(12/100) = 47.04
x(112/100) = 47.04
112x = 4704
x = 42
where x = mixture sold in rupees
According to ratios and alligations,
45 - 42 = 3 and 42 - 35 = 7
from this, we can say that when 7kg of 45 rupees sugar is used, 3 kg of 35 kg mixture is used to sell it at 42.
Therefore, when 30 kg of 35 rupees mixture is used, 70 kg of 45 rupees mixture is used.
