Answer:

33.3%


Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the 3 different nuts = 2 : 3 : 5

Sum of the ratio = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10


Define x:

Let x be the constant ratio

Ratio of the 3 different nuts = 2x : 3x : 5x


Find the cost of a pack of mixed nuts:

Cost = (2(50) + 3(30) + 5(20)) ÷ 10  = Rs 29


Find the gain:

Gain = 30 - 29 = Rs 1

Gain percentage = 1/30 x 100 = 33.3%


Answer: The gain is 33.3%

Answer:

The gain by selling the mixture will be 13.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

proportion of the ground nuts = 2:3:5

=> In one kg their proportion will be = 200 : 300: 500 grams

cost of 200 gm of 1st nut = 0.2 x 50 = Rs 10

cost of 300 gm of 2nd nut = 0.3 x 30 = Rs 9

cost of 500 gm of 3rd nut = 0.5 x 20 = Rs 10

Hence price of mixture = 10 + 9 + 10 = Rs 29

selling price of mixture = Rs 33

Hence profit = 33 - 29 = Rs 4

profit % = (4/29) x 100 =  13.79%

Hence the gain will be 13.79%
