A seller purchases the green colour of holi from two dealers, 5 kg from a dealer at a rate of 60 rupees per kg and 7 kg from other dealer at a rate of 80 rupees per kg . If he sells the colour after mixing, then what will be the selling rate for getting a profit of 20% ?
Cost Price(C.P.)=(5*60+7*80) =860......................(for 12kg)
Profit%=P%=20%
Selling Price(S.P.)={(100+P%)/100xC.P.} ={(100+20)/100x860 =1032...........(for12kg)
therefore for 1kg=1032/12 =86
so ans is:selling rate rupees 86 per kg
5 kg purchased from a dealer at 60 rupees per kg Therefore total cost per 5 kg = 60 x 5 = 300
7 kg purchased from another dealer at 80 rupees per kg . Therefore total cost per 7 kg = 80 x 7 = 560
Therefore total cost for 12 kg = 300 + 560 = 860 Hence cost per kg 860/12 = 71.66 Profit = 20% Therefore Selling price = Cost price + Cost price x 0.2 = Cost price x 1.2 = 71.66 x 1.2 = 86
