Sonu buys 40 kg of wheat at Rs.12.50 per kg and 30 kg of wheat at Rs.14 per kg. At what rate per kg should he sell the mixture to gain 5% on the whole?

CP of total wheat = 40 × 12.50 + 30 × 14


= 500 + 420


= Rs.920


Total Weight of Wheat = 40 kg + 30 kg


= 70 kg




= Rs.966


So, to gain 5% on wheat SP will be Rs.966


Rate for 1 kg wheat = 966/70


= Rs.13.80
