8kg of coffee costing #1200 a kg is mixed with 12 kg of another kind of coffee costing #1800 a kg what is the cost of the mixture per kg.
First, we need to find the total cost of each type of coffee:
8 kg x #1200/kg = #9600
12 kg x #1800/kg = #21600
Then, we add the two costs together:
#9600 + #21600 = #31200
Next, we find the total weight of the mixture:
8 kg + 12 kg = 20 kg
Finally, we divide the total cost by the total weight to find the cost per kg:
#31200 รท 20 kg = #1560/kg
Therefore, the cost of the mixture per kg is #1560.
To find the cost of the mixture per kg, we need to calculate the total cost and total weight of the mixture.
The cost of the first coffee is 8 kg * #1200/kg = #9600.
The cost of the second coffee is 12 kg * #1800/kg = #21600.
The total cost of the mixture is #9600 + #21600 = #31200.
The total weight of the mixture is 8 kg + 12 kg = 20 kg.
Now, we can calculate the cost of the mixture per kg:
#31200 / 20 kg = #1560/kg.
Therefore, the cost of the mixture per kg is #1560.
