Answer 2

step by step explanation :

weight of white rice spoilt =

$\frac{6}{100} \times 40kg \: \\ \\ = \frac{3}{5} kg$

weight of red rice spoilt =

$\frac{3}{100} \times 20kg \\ \\ = \frac{3}{5}$

% of total rice spoilt =

$\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{5} \times 100\% \\ \\ = 3 \times 3 \times 4 \\ = 36$

answer: 36%
