A fruit vendor has certain oranges with him.he sells each orange for RS.5.3 customer's a,b,c successively bought 25%,33 1/3%,50% of the orànges that are left over with the vendor each time

Answer 1

Step by step:

selling price of first orange = ₹5.3

profit % = 25%

cost % = 100%

selling % = 100% + 25%

= 125%

cost price = ₹5.3/125 * 100

= 4.24

33% of cost price = 4.24 * 33/100

=1.4(approx)

50% of cost price = 4.24 * 50/100

= 2.12
