Mohan and Sohan went to a bakery shop. Mohan bought 6 puffs, four burgers and three cakes and used up all the money he had. Sohan bought three puffs, eight burgers and six cakes and spent 20% more than Mohan. What percent of his money did Mohan spend o puffs?
Please e help me with the approach
How sir 1.2 came here
(6p+4b+3c)(1.2)=(3p+8b+6c)=3p+2(4b+3c)
So, if Mohan spent 2x on puffs and y on the others,
(2x+y)(6/5)=x+2y
6(2x+y)=5(x+2y)
12x+6y=5x+10y
7x=4y
y = 7x/4
Now, we want
x/(2x+y) = x/(2x+7x/4)
= x/(15x/4)
= 4/15
Mohan spent 8/15=53.3% of his money on puffs.
check:
(8/15+7/15)(6/5) = 4/15+2(7/15)
God! Helped a lot...thank you steve
To determine the percent of money Mohan spent on puffs, we need to find out the cost of the puffs and compare it to the total money he spent. Here's the approach:
1. Calculate the total cost of Mohan's purchases:
Mohan bought 6 puffs, 4 burgers, and 3 cakes. Let's assume the price of each puff is P, each burger is B, and each cake is C.
The total cost of Mohan's purchases can be calculated as follows: Total Cost = (6P) + (4B) + (3C)
2. Calculate the total cost of Sohan's purchases:
Sohan bought 3 puffs, 8 burgers, and 6 cakes. Since Sohan spent 20% more than Mohan, we need to add 20% to the total cost of Mohan's purchases.
Total Cost of Sohan's purchases = Total Cost of Mohan's purchases + 20% of Total Cost of Mohan's purchases
3. Calculate the cost of puffs:
The cost of puffs can be calculated by subtracting the cost of burgers and cakes from the total cost of Mohan's purchases:
Cost of Puffs = Total Cost of Mohan's purchases - (4B + 3C)
4. Calculate the percentage of money Mohan spent on puffs:
Percentage of money spent on Puffs = (Cost of Puffs / Total Cost of Mohan's purchases) * 100
By following this approach, you can find the percentage of money Mohan spent on puffs.
