Question

If the price of 357 apples is Rs.1517.25, what will be the approximate price of 49 dozens of such apples?

Answer 1

Given,

$375$ apples = Rs.$1517.25$

$1$ apple $=Rs.\frac{1517.25}{375}=4.25$

$1$ dozen = $12$ apples =$Rs.4.25\times 12=51$

$49$ dozen = $12\times 49$ apples $=Rs.4.25\times 12\times 49=2499$

$\therefore Rs.2499$ for $49$ dozen of apple
