Two Varieties Of Wheat - A And B Costing Rs. 9 Per Kg And Rs. 15 Per

1.	Two Varieties Of Wheat - A And B Costing Rs. 9 Per Kg And Rs. 15 Per Kg Were Mixed In The Ratio 3 : 7. If 5 Kg Of The Mixture Is Sold At 25% Profit, Find The Profit Made?
Answer» Let the quantities of A and B mixed be 3X kg and 7x kg. Cost of 3x kg of A = 9(3x) = Rs. 27X Cost of 7x kg of B = 15(7x) = Rs. 105x Cost of 10x kg of the MIXTURE = 27x + 105x = Rs. 132x Cost of 5 kg of the mixture = 132x/10x (5) = Rs. 66 Profit made in SELLING 5 kg of the mixture = 25/100 (cost of 5 kg of the mixture) = 25/100 * 66 = Rs. 16.50. Let the quantities of A and B mixed be 3x kg and 7x kg.

Answer»

Let the quantities of A and B mixed be 3X kg and 7x kg.

Cost of 3x kg of A = 9(3x) = Rs. 27X

Cost of 7x kg of B = 15(7x) = Rs. 105x

Cost of 10x kg of the MIXTURE = 27x + 105x = Rs. 132x

Cost of 5 kg of the mixture = 132x/10x (5) = Rs. 66

Profit made in SELLING 5 kg of the mixture = 25/100 (cost of 5 kg of the mixture) = 25/100 * 66 = Rs. 16.50.
