A shopkeeper has 100 kgs of tea. He sells a part of it at 20% profit and the rest at 5% loss. If his overall profit is 10%, find the quantity for each part.

Question

Accepted Answer

As per figure, we can calculate as below. Quantity sold at 20% profit = 3 / (3 + 2) × 100 = 60 kgs. Quantity sold at 5% loss = (100 – 60) = 40 kgs.
