Question

Shobhit buys 40 kg of wheat at 6.25 per kg and 30 kg of wheat at 7 per kg. At what rate per kg should he sell
the mixture to gain 5% on the whole?​

Answer 1

Answer:

6.90 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

40kg wheat at Rs.6.25 per kg

cost = 40x6.25 = Rs. 250

30kg wheat at Rs. 7 per kg

cost = 30 * 7 = Rs. 210

Total cost price = 250 + 210 = Rs. 460

5 % of Rs. 460 = 460x (5/100) = Rs.23

for 5 % profit on whole, total selling price

= 460 + 23 = Rs. 483

total wheat = 40 + 30 = 70kg

Selling rate = Rs. 483/70 = Rs. 6.90 per

kg

He should sell at Rs. 6.90 per kg wheat
