- The vendor mixes rice in a 3:7 ratio of ?60 and ?45 kg varieties.

- Calculate the cost price of the mix:

- Cost of 1 kg of mixed rice = (3 * 60 + 7 * 45) / 10 = 48.5 per kg.

- The vendor sells the rice for ?65 per kg.

- Calculate the profit:

- Profit per kg = Selling price - Cost price = 65 - 48.5 = 16.5.

- Calculate the profit percentage:

- Profit % = (Profit per kg / Cost price) * 100 = (16.5 / 48.5) * 100 ˜ 34.02%.
