29. 20kg of beans are mixed with 40kg of maize. One
kg of the mixture costs 320Rwf. If the cost of one kg of
maize is 280Rwf. Find the cost of one kg of beans. /3
Quantity of mixture = 20kg + 40kg = 60kg
The cost of mixture= 320f x 60 = 19200f
The cost of 40kg : 280f x 40 = 11,200f
The cost of 20kg: 19200f – 11200f = 8000f
The cost of one kg : = 400f/kg
