Description : Vaishnavi purchased 35kg of wheat at the rate of Rs.19.50 per kg and another 35kg of wheat at a certain rate. She mixed the two and sold the entire quantity at the rate of the Rs.21.25 per kg and made 20%. Overall profit at what price per kg did she purchase the lot of another 35kg wheat?
