Question

• Hari bought 25 kg of pure ghee at Rs 180 per kg and 25 kg vanaspati ghee of Rs.80 per kg. He mixed both types of ghee and sold the mixture of Rs. 150 per kg. Find profit or loss %​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

as given,

hari bought,

amount of pure ghee he bought = 25 kg

cost of pure ghee per kg = Rs. 180

so, cost of 25 kg of pure ghee = 180 × 25 = Rs 4,500

amount of vanaspati ghee = 25 kg

cost of per kg of vanaspati ghee = Rs. 80

so, cost of 25 kg of vanaspati ghee = 80 × 25 = Rs. 2,000

he mixed both the ghee and got ( 25 + 25 ) = 50 kg of mixed ghee.

he sold them in cost = Rs. 150 per kg

so, total SP of mixed ghee = 150 × 50 = Rs. 7,500

so,

total CP = ( 4500 + 2000 ) = Rs. 6,500

total SP = Rs. 7,500

so,

Profit = SP - CP

→ 7,500 - 6,500 = Rs. 1000

Profit / gain = ( gain × 100 / CP)

→ (1000 × 100 / 6,500 )

→ 1000/65 = 15.38 ( approx.)

therefore, it's a profit of 15.38%.

hope this answer helps you dear! and may u have a great day ahead! take care!
