Question

Two varieties of cement costing rs450 per bag and rs150 per bag are mixed in the ratio 3:2.if the mixture is sold for rs350 per bag,find profit or loss percent.[1 bag=100kg]

Answer 1

Answer:

PROFIT PERCENT=5.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE COMMON MULTIPLE BE X

THUS,3X+2X=5X

5X=1000 GRAMS[1KG=1000 GRAMS]

X=200 GRAMS

THEREFORE 600 GRAMS AND 400 GRAMS FROM RS.450 AND RS.150 RESPECTIVELY IS TAKEN

600 GRAMS FROM RS.450 BAG WILL COST RS. 270

400 GRAMS FROM RS.150 BAG WILL COST RS. 60

THEREFORE THE ACTUAL COST OF THE BAG WITH MIXTURE OF TWO TYPES OF CEMENT IS RS.270+60

=RS.330

RS.350>RS.330

THUS IT IS A PROFIT

PROFIT=COST PRICE -SELLING PRICE=350-330=20

THUS PROFIT PERCENT =PROFIT/COST PRICE*100

=20/350*100

=5.71%
