TANMOY PAL  (11 years ago)

let x kg is sold at 7% profit
so (100-x)kg is sold at 17% profit
so the equation is formed as
(x*7/100)+{(100-x)*17/100}=100*10/100
=> x=70
so 100-x=100-70=30 kg is sold at 17% profit.

let x kg of sugar is sold at profit of 7%
then 100-x kg of sugar is sold at profit of 17%
then according to given condition
=>7% profit on x + 17% profit on 100-x = 10% profit 100 kg sugar
=> 1.07x + 1.17(100-x)= 1.1*100
=> 1.07x + 117 - 1.17x = 110
=> 0.1 x = 7
=> x=70
therefore 100-x = 100-70
=> 30 kg of sugar is sold at 17% profit
