Let 'x' be the quantity (in kg) of rice costing Tk. 40/kg.
Let 'y' be the quantity (in kg) of rice costing Tk. 60/kg.
Set up Equations:
Equation (i) (Total weight): x + y = 50 (The total weight of the mixture is 50 kg)
Equation (ii) (Total cost): 40x + 60y = 52 50 (The total cost of the mixture is the weighted average of the costs of the two types of rice multiplied by the total weight.)
Simplify Equation (ii):
40x + 60y = 2600 [Divide the entire equation by 20 to make it simpler]
2x + 3y = 130 ---------(iii)
From Equation (i): x = 50 - y
Substitute this value of x into the simplified Equation (iii):
2(50 - y) + 3y = 130
100 - 2y + 3y = 130
∴ y = 30
Substitute the value of y back into the equation x = 50-y:
x = 50 - 30
∴ x = 20
Answer: The shopkeeper used 20 kg of rice costing Tk. 40/kg and 30 kg of rice costing Tk. 60/kg.
