Answer 1)132
sol CP =P%
SP= 96 = CP*100+P/100 = (100CP+CP^2)/100
CP=60
PROFIT = 96-60= 36
ie.NEw SP= 60+(2×36) =132

7)A trader mixes 25% kerosene to his petrol and then he sells the whole mixture at the price of petrol. If the cost price of kerosene be 50% of the cost price of petrol, what is the net profit percentage?

Answer 1) 11(1/9) %
Let CP of 1ltr of petrol = 200
& Cp of 1ltr of kerosene = 100
CP of 1.25 lit solution =200+25 =225
SP of 1.25 lit solution =200+50=250
profit % =( 250 -225) /225 *100 =1/9*100= 11 1/9%
