A producer blends two varieties of tea from two different tea gardens. One costing is Rs. 15/kg and another costing Rs. 20 /kg in the ratio of 7: 3. He sells the blended variety at Rs. 18.15/ kg. Determine his profit/ loss %.
10%
C.P of 7 kg of 1st kind of tea = Rs. 15 × 7 = Rs. 105
C.P of 3 kg of 2nd kind of tea = Rs. 20 × 3 = Rs. 60
C.P of 10 kg of tea = Rs. (105 + 60) = Rs. 165
S.P of 1 kg (mixed tea) = Rs. 18.15
S.P of 10 kg (mixed tea) = Rs. 18.15 × 10 = Rs. 181.50
Gain on Rs. 165 = Rs. (181.50 – 165.00) = Rs. 16.50
Gain% = 16.5×100165 = 10%
