Solution

Step1: First we will find cost of one orange
Cost of two dozen oranges $= ₹ 40$
Number of oranges in two dozen $= 2 \times 12$ $[1 d o z e n = 12]$
$= 24 o r a n g e s$
Cost of $24$ oranges $= 40$
Cost of one orange $= 40 \div 24$
$= \frac{40}{24} = ₹ \frac{5}{3}$
Step2: finding number of oranges
Number of oranges we get for $₹ 50$ $= 50 \div \frac{5}{3}$
$= 50 \times \frac{3}{5} = 10 \times 3$
$= 30$
Hence, number of oranges we get for $₹ 50$ is $30$ .
