Answer:
$56.41
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to divide the total bill by the sales tax and the multiply that number by 100. Then subtract that number from the total bill and that's how you get your answer.
Let us take the case of first type of tea
Cost of 10 kg of tea one = $20
Then
Cost of 1 kg of tea one = (20/10) dollars
= 2 dollars
Now let us take the case of the second kind of tea
Cost of 10 kg of tea = $23
Then
Cost of 1 kg of tea = (23/10) dollars
= 2.3 dollars
So
The mixture of 1 kg of tea one
and 1 kg of second type of tea will cost = (2.0 + 2.3) dollars
= 4.3 dollars
Then the cost of 2kg mixture of tea costs = 4.3 dollars
So
The cost of 10 kg mixture will cost = (4.3/2) * 10 dollars
= 4.3 * 5 dollars
= 21.5 dollars
Then
The amount of profit made by selling 10 kg tea at $38 = (38 - 21.5) dollars
= 16.5 dollars
So
Percentage of profit made = (16.5/21.5) * 100
= 1650/21.5
= 76.74 percent
So the percentage of profit made is 76.74%.
The answer is 10/7
hope this helped.
