If a shop owner sells 3 different ground nuts with prices rs. 50, rs. 30, rs. 20 and they are in proportion 2:3:5 so that they are mixed and sold at rs. 33 then find gain.
Answers
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%
