Answer» Step-by-step EXPLANATION: Given: 1st verity of cement = 450Rs. 2nd verity of cement=150 RS. The ratio of mixture is 3:2 i.e 3 bags of 1st verity cement & 2 bags of 2nd verity cement . COST of this mixture = (3×450) + (2×150) = 1350 + 300 = 1650 Rs .....(1)
Mixture contains 5 bags of cement selling price of mixture is 350 Rs per selling price of mixture is 350 Rs per bag Total selling price = 5×350 = 1750 Rs. .....(2)
From (1)&(2) cost price < selling price so,this deal makes a PROFIT Profit = S.P - C.P = 1750 - 1650 = Rs.100 Profit % = Profit ×100 C.P. = 100×100 1650 = 6.06 % approximately 6%
