Answer:
Let's assume he has 200 Rupees( since it's divisible by both 50 and 40). So an orange cost 4 rupees and mango cost 5.
He kept 10 % for taxi that is 20 rupees
So he has 180 rupees left.
20 mangoes cost 100 Rupees(20*5)
He has 80 rupees left which can get him 20 oranges(80/4).
Answer:
ans 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that A person buys 50 oranges or 40 mangoes.
Let the price of one orange be x.
Then the total amount the person has 50x.
if 40 mangoes cost 50x.
Then 1 mango = 50x/40
= 1.25x.
Given that 10% of the amount for taxi = 10% of 50x
= 10/100 * 50x
= 5x.
Given that he buys 20 mangoes.
From (1) If the cost of 1 mango = 1.25x.
Then the cost of 20 mangoes = 20 * 1.25x
= 25x.
Money left with the person = Total Money - Cost of Mangoes
= 50x - 5x - 25x
= 20x.
if one orange cost x.
Then 20 oranges cost 20x.
Therefore the number of oranges he can purchase = 20.
