Question: A man bought some sugar and salt for Tk. 440. The ratio of the weights of sugar and salt is 5 : 2, and the price per unit weight of sugar and salt is in the ratio 6 : 7. What is the price of the total sugar?

Solution:
Given,
Weight ratio (Sugar : Salt) = 5 : 2
Price ratio per unit weight (Sugar : Salt) = 6 : 7

Total price ratio of sugar and salt = (Weight × Price per unit)
= 5 × 6 : 2 × 7
= 30 : 14
= 15 : 7

Total units = 15 + 7 = 22 units

Accordint to the question,
22 units = Tk. 440
1 unit = 440/22
1 unit= Tk. 20

Price of total sugar = 15 × 20 = Tk. 300
