Answer 1

Answer:

0.68 on 2 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have given in the question the fruit seller buy 3 oranges at 5 Rs and sells them for 4 Rs for 2 oranges

Therefore the price of 1 orange when he buys=$\dfrac{5}{3}=1.66$

The price of orange hen he sells 1 orange=$\dfrac{4}{2}=2$

Therefore the orange seller is selling orange for 2 Rs which he buys for 1.66 Rs, Therefore the profit on 1 orange will be=$2-1.66=0.34$

So the seller is making 0.34 Rs per orange as a profit

Therefore he is making profit of=$0.34\times2=0.68$ on 2 oranges
