13 stepsHere's the breakdown of the millet mixture problem:
Part a· 6 steps
Calculate the selling price of one bag of the mixture.
Calculate the total cost of Type A millet.
Cost of Type A =
Calculate the total cost of Type B millet.
Cost of Type B =
Calculate the total cost of the mixture.
Total Cost =
Calculate the total number of bags in the mixture.
Total Bags =
Calculate the cost price per bag of the mixture.
Cost Price per Bag =
Calculate the selling price per bag with a 20% profit.
Selling Price = Cost Price
Selling Price =
Selling Price =
Selling Price =The selling price of one bag of the mixture is .
Part b7:33
Find the ratio x:y.
Calculate the cost price per bag of the mixture.
Given Selling Price (SP) = Ksh 498.55 and Profit = 30%.
Let Cost Price (CP) be the cost per bag.
Set up an equation for the cost price per bag based on the ratio x:y.
Let be the number of bags of Type A and be the number of bags of Type B.
Total cost of mixture =
Total number of bags =
Cost price per bag =
We equate this to the calculated cost price per bag:Solve for the ratio x:y.
To find the ratio :
Multiply numerator and denominator by 100 to remove decimals:
Simplify the fraction by dividing both by 50:
The ratio is .
Part c11:29
Calculate the ratio of Type A millet to Type B millet in the final mixture.
Determine the proportion of Type A and Type B in one bag of mixture from part (a).
From part (a), the mixture has 30 bags of Type A and 50 bags of Type B, totaling 80 bags.
In one bag of mixture (a):
Amount of Type A =
Amount of Type B =Determine the proportion of Type A and Type B in one bag of mixture from part (b).
From part (b), the ratio of Type A to Type B is . The total parts are .
In one bag of mixture (b):
Amount of Type A =
Amount of Type B =Calculate the total amount of Type A and Type B when one bag of each mixture is combined.
Total Type A = (Amount of Type A in bag from a) + (Amount of Type A in bag from b)
Total Type A =
To add, find a common denominator (40):
Total Type A =Total Type B = (Amount of Type B in bag from a) + (Amount of Type B in bag from b)
Total Type B =
To add, find a common denominator (40):
Total Type B =Calculate the ratio of Type A millet to Type B millet in the final mixture.
Ratio = Total Type A : Total Type B
Ratio =
This simplifies to .
Divide both sides by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
Ratio =The ratio of Type A millet to Type B millet in the final mixture is .
