Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the quantity he purchases in both the phases is 100 each.

A/q,

He purchases 100 units at Rs. 25/unit

Price for 100 units = Rs 2500

Then, he purchases 100 units at Rs. 20/unit

Price for 100 units = Rs 2000

Total price for 200 units = 2500+2000= Rs. 4500.

Cost price of Each orange = 4500/200 = Rs. Rs. 22.5

Selling Price of each orange = Rs. 45

Profit = 45–22.5 = Rs. 22.5 or 100%
