Mohan and Sohan went to a bakery shop. Mohan bought 6 puffs, four burgers and three cakes and used up all the money he had. Sohan bought three puffs, eight burgers and six cakes and spent 20% more than Mohan. What percent of his money did Mohan spend o puffs?

Question

Please e help me with the approach

Answer 1

(6p+4b+3c)(1.2)=(3p+8b+6c)=3p+2(4b+3c)
So, if Mohan spent 2x on puffs and y on the others,
(2x+y)(6/5)=x+2y
6(2x+y)=5(x+2y)
12x+6y=5x+10y
7x=4y
y = 7x/4

Now, we want
x/(2x+y) = x/(2x+7x/4)
= x/(15x/4)
= 4/15

Mohan spent 8/15=53.3% of his money on puffs.

check:
(8/15+7/15)(6/5) = 4/15+2(7/15)
