b- 12 kg
c- 10 kg
d- 8 kg
Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- b. 12 kg
If 'x' kg of rice prices at 3.6$/kg is mixed with 24 kg. of rice priced at 2.7$/kg, then average price=
(x*3.6 + 24*2.7)/(24+x) =3.15*100/105
(3.6+64.8)/(24+x) =3

- if x kg price of 3.6$/kg and 24 kg of rice priced at 2.7$/kg
so , x*3.6 + 24*2.7
we want to find avg rate of rice price hence 100% = ( (x*3.6)+(24*2.7) )/(24+x) _____ i.
we know that 5% profit , so 105% = 3.15
so 100% =3 _________________________________________ 2.
by 105 3.15
100 ? by ?= (100*3.15)/105= 3
so by equating ( (x*3.6)+(24*2.7) )/(24+x) =3
x=12 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(5)
- given rice $3.6/kg
and (100/105)*3.15=3
according to law of allegation
3:6=x:24
then x=12kg
