GIVEN:

Cost of two different varieties of mangoes = Rs. 100 and Rs. 120 per kg

Ratio of mixture = 4 : 2

Selling price of Mangoes = Rs. 115 per kg

CALCULATION:

Let the shopkeeper bought = 4 + 2 = 6 kg

Cost price of 6 kg mangoes = 4 × 100 + 2 × 120 = Rs. 640

Selling price of 6 kg mangoes = 6 × 115 = Rs. 690

Profit = 690 – 640 = 50

Profit percentage =

= (50/640) × 100

= 7.81%
