Question

Kiran mixes 60 kg of sugar worth
Rs.30.50 per kg with 80 kg of sugar worth
Rs.32.50 per kg. At what rate shall he sell
the mixture to gain 20%? (Round off to
integer value)​

Answer 1

Answer:

60 kg @ 30.50 Rs/kg --> 1830 Rs

80 kg @ 32.50 Rs/lg --> 2,600 Rs

So, in total we have 140 kg sugar for a cost of 4430 Rs

20% 0f 4430 Rs is 886 Rs

So, selling price needs to be 4430 + 886 = 5316 Rs for 140 kg

5316/140 = 37.9714
