Total cost price for the man = 120*15 = 1800. Now let the selling price be x then we have
120x = 1800 - 30x
=> 150x = 1800
=> x = 12
Hence he must have sold the sugar at rs 12 per kg.

Loss  = CP - SP  => 30* sp = 1800 - 120*sp => sp = 1800/150 = 12 . hence Selling price per kg = 12.

Rs. 11.25 per kg
