Solution
C.P. of 200 kg sugar
= Rs.(18 x 200)
= Rs.3600
C.P. of 100 kg sugar
= Rs.(22 x 100)
= Rs.2200
∴ C.P. of 300 kg sugar
= Rs.(3600 + 220)
= Rs.5800
S.P. of 300 kg sugar
= Rs.(20 x 300)
= Rs.6000
As S.P. > C.P., so there is a profit
∴ Profit
= S.P. - C.P.
= Rs.(6000 - 5800)
= Rs.200
Profit %
= `"Profit"/"C.P." xx 100`
= `(200)/(5800) xx 100`
= 3.44%.
