Answer 1

Answer:

1 dozen =12.

x + 12(0.5)= 78.

x=78-6 = 72

72 rupees for 1 dozen

The original price would be Rs. 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Paying capacity = Rs. 78

Rate = 50 paise per dozen reduction

Quantity = 1 more dozen

So, it becomes,

$78-12(0.5)\\\\=78-6\\\\=Rs.\ 72$

Hence, the original price would be Rs. 72.
