Answer 1

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

ratio of the mixuture of wheat=1:3

thats means in the mixture $\frac{1}{4}$th part of the mixture is wheat of Rs 80 per kg and $\frac{3}{4}$th part is wheat of Rs 120 per kg.

hence the cost of mixture =$\frac{1}{4}\times 80+\frac{3}{4}\times 120$ Rs per kg

=Rs 110 per kg

selling price of wheat= Rs 143 per kg

profit= selling price-cost price

     =Rs 143-Rs 110

     =Rs 33

profit percent=$\frac{profit}{cost price}\times100$ %

               =$\frac{33}{110}\times100$ %

              =30%
