Ritika purchased 'x' kg wheat at Rs. 30/kg and sold 8 kg of this at Rs. 'x' per kg and remain inng at Rs. 45/kg. Overall profit percent earned is 10%, then what quantity of wheat Ritika at rs. 45/kg ? |
18 kg 16 kg 10 kg 14 kg |
10 kg |
We have, Cost price of wheat = Rs. 30 per kg Selling price of 8 kg = Rs. x per kg Selling price of remaining wheat = Rs. 45 per kg Overall profit percentage = 10% According to the question, Cost price = Rs. 30 per kg Total cost price = CP = Rs. 30 × x = 30x Profit must be 10% So, SP = 30x × 110/100 = 33x For the first 8 kg of wheat, the selling price is Rs. 'x' per kg. Selling price of 8 kg = 8 × x = 8x For the remaining wheat, the selling price is Rs. 45 per kg. Remaining quantity = (x - 8) Kg According to the question 33x = 8x + (x - 8)45 33x = 8x + 45x - 8 × 45 x = 18 kg. Quantity of wheat sold at Rs. 45 per kg = (x - 8) = 18 - 8 = 10 kg |
