Given he mixed the packets, the avg cost per kg for the mixture

Weight (kg) 100 300
Premium ----------------------- Regular
Price. 30 20

Weights are in the ratio 3:1

CostAvg = 20 + (30-20)*3/4 = 22.5
Sales were done at the price of premium sugar, i.e. $30

Profit = SP - CP
Profit = (30-22.5)/22.5 * 100 = 7.5/22.5 * 100 = 100/3 = 33.33%

Bunuel
A ration shop had a stock of 200 packets of 1/2 Kg each premium sugar, and 300 packets of 1kg each regular sugar. The premium sugar is procured at Rs 30 per kg, while the regular sugar is procured at Rs 20 per kg. If the owner mixes the stock and sold them at the price of premium sugar what is the percentage profit of the shopkeeper?

A. 20
B. 28.57
C. 33.33
D. 40
E. 42.86

Price of premium sugar= 30
Total price of 200 packets of 0.5kg premium sugar= 0.5*200*30=3,000
Total price of 300 packets of 1 kg regular sugar= 1*300*20=6,000
Total CP of producing 400kg of mixed sugar= 3000+6000=9,000
Total SP= 400*30=12,000
Profit percentage = (12000-9000)/9000 *100 =33.334 %
