GIVEN: Swetha purchased 160kg of ragi at Rs.27 per kg and mixed it with
240kg ragi at Rs.32 per kg.
TO FIND: The selling price of the mixture
SOLUTION:
As we are given,
Swetha purchased 160kg of ragi at Rs.27 per kg and mixed it with
240kg ragi at Rs.32 per kg.
So the price of the first kind of Ragi.
It will be 160 times Rs 27, which is 160 x 27 = Rs 4320.
The other Ragi is Rs 32 for 1 kg.
The shopkeeper has 240 kg of that.
So the cost of the second kind of Ragi will be 240 x 32 = Rs 7680.
So the total cost of the mixture is Rs 4320 + Rs 7680 = Rs 12000.
He needs to earn 36% of Rs 12000, which is 36/100 x 12000 = Rs 4320.
So the total price he should sell it is Rs 12000 + Rs 4320 = Rs 20640
Total Amount of Ragi he has160 kg + 240 kg = 400 kg.
So he sells 400 kg for Rs 20640.
His selling price is Rs 20640 per 400 kg,
which is Rs 206400/400kg
= Rs 51.6/kg
The selling price of this mixture shall be Rs. 51.6
