Question

Q5.Sagar purchased 10 kg of rice at the rate of Rs. 15 per kg and 25 kg of rice at the rate Rs. 14 per kg. He mixed the two and sold the mixture. Approximately at what rate per kg should he sell the mixture to make 40 % profit in the transaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Total CP of the mixture = 10 * 15 + 25 * 14 = 150 + 350 = Rs.500

Profit % = 40%.

Hence SP of the mixture = 500 * (100 + 40)/100  Rs. 700.

Therefore the rate per Kg = 700/35 = Rs. 20.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sagar:

Cost of IOKg of rice = 15x10= Rs.150

cost of 25kg. = 14x25= Rs

350

Total CP = Rs 500

To get profit of 40% the SP would be 500x140/100 = Rs. 700

SP per kg =700/(10+25)

=700/35=20

S.P of rice per kg is Rs 20. Ans
