How many kgs of wheat costing Rs.24/- per kg must be mixed with 30 kgs of wheat costing Rs.18.40/- per kg so that 15% profit can be obtained by selling the mixture at Rs.23/- per kg?

14
24
32
12
Explanation:

S.P. of 1 kg mixture = Rs.23. Gain = 15%.


C.P. of 1 kg mixture = Rs.[(100/115) x 23] = Rs.20


Let the quantity of wheat costing Rs.24 is x kgs.


Using weighted average rule = $\dfrac{x\times24+30\times18.4}{x+30}$ = 20


Solving we get x = 12
