    β€˜B’ at Rs. 45 per kg and Rs. 27 per kg respectively. He mixes 1 kg of variety β€˜A’ rice with 2 kg of variety β€˜B’ rice and sells the mixture at Rs. 44 per kg. What is his profit percent?
    A 33.33% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cost price of 3 kg of the rice mixture = 45 + 27 Γ— 2 = Rs. 99 Cost price of 1 kg of the rice mixture = 99 Γ· 3 = Rs. 33 So, profit percentage = (44 – 33) Γ· 33 Γ— 100 = 33.33%
