Suppose you mix X kg of sugar at Rs9 per kg.
Total amount of sugar = X + 27 kg
Total cost = 9*X + 7*27 = 9X + 189
Selling price should be 10% more than the Total cost (above)
that is Total sales = 1.1*(9X + 189) = 9.9X + 207.9
But Total sales also = 9.24 * (X + 27) = 9.24X + 249.48
Taking the difference between the two equations for Total sales,
0.66X - 41.58 = 0
So that X = 41.58/0.66 = 63 kilograms.
