Question

Mohan bought a certain number of oranges at Rs. 60 per score and sold them at 20% profit. Find the selling price of each orange.

Answer 1

One score has $20$ objects
Given, C.P. of $20$ oranges $=Rs60$
C.P. of $1$ orange $=Rs3$
Profit $=20$ %
So, Profit % $=\frac{S.P.-C.P.}{C.P.}\times 100=20$
$=>\frac{S.P.-3}{3}\times 100=20$
$=>S.P.-3=0.60$
$=>S.P.=Rs3.60$
Hence, Selling price of each orange $=Rs3.60$
