Answer:

40 Rs per kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

solution

Let the rate of tea be x Rs per kg and that of sugar be y Rs per kg.

When Kantabai bought the items by going to the shop,

3/2x+5y+50=700

⇒3x+10y=1300....(I)

When Kantabai bought the items online then

2x+7y=880......(II)

Multiplying (I) with 2 and (II) with 3 we get

6x+20y=2600......(III)

6x+21y=2640.......(IV)

eq.(IV)−(III)

y=40

Putting the value of y =40 in (II)

2x+7(40)=880

⇒2x=880−280=600

⇒x=300

Thus, tea is at 300 Rs per kg and sugar is 40 Rs per kg.
