Question

Explain the logic for
Last year oranges were available at ₹24 per dozen but this year they are available at ₹50 per score. Find the percentage change in the price of oranges
Per score =20

Answer 1

price of 1 oranges last year was 24/12 = 2Rs (1dozen = 12)

price of 1 orange this year is 50/20 = 2.5Rs (1 score = 20)

so increase in price of the orange is 2.5-2 = .5Rs

% change in price of orange = (increase in price / orginal price)*100%

increase in price = .5Rs

orginal price (old price) = 2Rs

% increase in price = (.5/2)*100 = 25%
