Question

a fruit vendor sells mangoes at the rate of 78 for a dozen how much will he need to pay for 40 mango​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 260

Step-by-step explanation:

The fruit vendor charges Rs. 78 for a dozen i.e. 12 mangoes

Thus price of 1 mango = 78/12

Thus price of 40 mangoes = 40 * 78/12

                                            = Rs. 260

Answer 2

Answer:

CP of 12 mangoes = 78 Rs

Then , CP of 1 mango= 78/12 = 13/2 Rs

CP of 40 mangoes= 13/2 * 40 = 260 Rs

Therefore, the cost price is 260 Rs for 40 mangoes
