Answers
Answer:10 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Quantity of the wheat that bought at Rs.10 per kg is 10 kgs
Given:
Mohan bought two varieties of wheat
first at Rs. 9.50 per kg and second at Rs. 10 per kg
He bought 50 kg at total cast 480 Rs
To find:
What is the quantity of wheat bought at Rs. 10 per kg
Solution:
Let x kg and y kg be the quantities of first and second variety
Cost of x kg at Rs.9.50 per kg = 9.50x Rs
Cost of y kg at Rs.10 per kg = 10y Rs
Given total cost = 480
⇒ 9.50x + 10y = 480
⇒ 0.95x + y = 48 -----(1) [ divided by 10 ]
Given that total quantity = 50 kg
⇒ x + y = 50 ------(2)
⇒ Do (2) - (1)
⇒ x + y - 0.95x - y = 50 - 48
⇒ 0.05x = 2
⇒ x = 2/0.05 = 40
⇒ x = 40 kg
Substitute x = 40 kg in (2)
⇒ 40 + y = 50
⇒ y = 50 - 40 = 10
Therefore,
Quantity of the wheat that bought at Rs.10 per kg is 10 kgs
