MP of 24 kg nuts = 24M = 24 × 252
= 6048
Then, CP of 24kg nuts = 6048 - 1752
= ₹4296
Let the CP of cashews, peanuts and
almonds be C, P and A respectively
Let 7C = 30P = 9A = 630k
C : P : A = 90k : 21k : 70k
(90 × 4k + 21 × 14k + 70 × 6k) = 4,296
360k + 294k + 420k = 4296
1074k = 4296⇒ k = 4
Amount that she had spent in buying 6
kg almonds =70K × 6 = 420k

According to the question,

Let the chintu’s percentage share of

According to the question,
y% of (17 - 15)% of x = 80
y% of 2% of 20,000 = 80⇒ y = 20%
