Suppose he sold x of units of the poor grains and y units of the fair grains.
His cost was 32x + 40y.
He sold x + y units of grains at the price of 43, so his revenue was 43x + 43y.
(32x + 40y) * (1.25) = 43x + 43y
40x + 50y = 43x + 43y
3x = 7y
x = (7/3)y
Suppose x + y = 100.
(7/3)y + y = 10/3y = 100
y = 30
x = 100 - 30 = 70
Thus, 70% of the grains he sold were poor, and 30% were fair.
Answer: 70% poor, 30% fair
