To find the average price of the mixture, we need to calculate the total cost of the brown sugar and the total cost of the white sugar, and then divide by the total weight of the mixture.
Total cost of brown sugar = 12kg * 1100 frw/kg = 13200 frw Total cost of white sugar = 8kg * 1200 frw/kg = 9600 frw
Total weight of the mixture = 12kg + 8kg = 20kg
Total cost of the mixture = 13200 frw + 9600 frw = 22800 frw
Average price of the mixture = Total cost of the mixture / Total weight of the mixture Average price of the mixture = 22800 frw / 20kg = 1140 frw/kg
Therefore, the average price of the mixture is 1140 frw per kilogram.

Total cost of brown sugar: 12 kg x 1100 frw/kg = 13,200 frw Total cost of white sugar: 8 kg x 1200 frw/kg = 9,600 frw
Total cost of the mixture: 13,200 frw + 9,600 frw = 22,800 frw
Total weight of the mixture: 12 kg + 8 kg = 20 kg
Average price of the mixture: 22,800 frw / 20 kg = 1,140 frw per kilogram
