Question 1:

%2880%2A13.50%2B120%2A16%29%2F200=PRICE, Rs/kg.

Look at the price of the mixture to examine profit.
highlight%28%2880%2A13.50%2B120%2A16%29%2A%281.16%29%2F200%29 Rs/kg, the marked-up price to get the 16% profit. Note that the whole mixture is 200 kg, and question is about Price for selling the mixture.
