Question

Princy bought 6 1/2 kg mangoes if the cost of 1kg of mangoes is 12 1/2 find the total cost of mangoes

Answer 1

CP of 50 kg mangoes =50×22=Rs.1100

SP of 50 kg mangoes =

100

125

×1100=Rs.1375

Let the mangoes sold at Rs.30 per kg be x.

According to the question,

30×x+20(50−x)=1375

30x−20x=375

x=

10

375

=37.5 kg

Hence, mangoes sold at Rs.20 kg=50−37.5=12.5 kg.
