But what profit or losse

Answer 2

Answer:

He bought 15 Oranges for a Rupee

Step-by-step explanation:

Sells 10 oranges for Rs 1

1 orange Sold = 1/10 Rs = 10 Paise

Let say cost price of 1 orange = C Paise

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

Profit = 10 - C  Paise

Profit % = (Profit / Cost Price ) * 100

=> 50 = ((10 - C)/C ) * 100

=> C = (10 - C) * 2

=> C = 20 - 2C

=> 3C = 20

=> C = 20/3

Cost Price of 1 orange = 20/3 Paise

1 Rs = 100 Paise

in 20/3 Paise Orange bought = 1

in 1 Paise Orange bought = 1/(20/3) = 3/20

in 100 Paise Orange bought = (3/20) * 100

= 3 * 5

= 15

He bought 15 Oranges for a Rupee
