Answer:
Average price of rice when both variety are mixed is Rs. 11.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost of rice of variety 1 = Rs. 10 per kg
Cost of rice of variety 2 = Rs. 12 per kg
Ratio of the rice = 1 : 2
To find: Average price of rice when both variety are mixed.
let weight of variety 1 rice = x and weight of variety 2 rice = 2x
total cost of variety 1 rice = Rs. 10x and Cost of variety 2 rice = Rs. 24x
Total weight of rice = 2x + x = 3x kg
Total Price of both rice = 10x + 24x = Rs. 34x
Average cost of a kg of mixture = 34x/3x = Rs. 11.33
Therefore, Average price of rice when both variety are mixed is Rs. 11.33
