उत्तर
Let quantity of first variety and second variety of tea be 5x kg and 4x kg respectively.
Cost of first variety of tea = ₹ (200 × 5x) = ₹ 1000x
Cost of second variety of tea = ₹ (300 × 4x) = ₹ 1200x
Total cost price of tea = ₹ (1000x + 1200x) = ₹ 2200x
Selling price of tea = ₹ (9x × 275) = ₹ 2475x
Here, S.P. > C.P.
Therefore, there is a profit of = ₹ (2475x – 2200x) = ₹ 275x
Profit % = `"Profit"/"C.P." xx 100 = (275x)/(2200x) xx 100` = 12.5%
