Explanation: Suppose x kg of Cheaper quality is mixed with y kg of Superior

Explanation: Suppose x kg of Cheaper quality is mixed with y kg of Superior quality. Price of Cheaper Ingredient = Rs. cx Price of Superior Ingredient = Rs. dy Price of Mixture = Rs. (cx + dy) and Quantity of mixture = (x + y) kg Price of mixture(m)/kg = Rs. (cx + dy) / (x + y) So, cx + dy = m x+y

cx + dy = mx + my dy – my = mx – cx

cx + dy = mx + my dy – my = mx – cx y(d-m) = x(m-c) x/y = d – m / m – c
