Step:1 Finding the cost of $1 o r a n g e$
Cost of $2 d o z e n$ oranges $= ₹ 36$
$2 d o z e n = 2 \times 12 = 24 [1 d o z e n = 12 i t e m s]$
Cost of $1$ orange $= ₹ 36 \div 24 = \frac{36}{24} = \frac{36 \div 12}{24 \div 12} = ₹ \frac{3}{2}$

Therefore, Cost of $36$ oranges $= 36 \times \frac{3}{2} = 18 \times 3 = ₹ 54$ .
