GivEn :-

A tea merchant blends two varieties of tea in the ratio 5 : 4.

The cost of first variety is Rs 200 per kg

cost of second variety is Rs 300 per Kg.

he sells the blended tea at the rate of Rs 275 per kg

To Find :-

Percentage of profit or loss

Step-by-step explanation:

➠Let assume that the tea merchant blends two varieties of tea taking first variety 5x kg and second variety 4x kg.

➠Now, the cost of first variety of tea = 200 × 5x = 1000x

➠And the cost of second variety of tea = 300 ×

4x = 1200x

➠Total quantity of the blended tea = 5x + 4x = 9x kg

➠S.P of the blended tea = 9x × 275 = 2475x

➠C.P = 2200x

➠Therefore,

Profit = 2475x - 2200x = 275x

➤The percentage of profit,

\implies \sf \: \dfrac{275x}{2200x} \times 100⟹

2200x

275x

×100

\implies \boxed{ \red{ \bold{ 12.5\%}}}⟹

12.
