Answer 1

Answer:

Oranges should be sold at the proc of 3.5 per orange

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of oranges per dozen=35

Total quantity of oranges bought=6 dozens=6×12=72

Total cost price paid=35×6=210

Profit% to be added=5%

Selling price of oranges=210+210×5%=220.5

A/q,

9 oranges out of 6 dozen oranges are thrown away.

Hence, remaining oranges= 72-9= 63

Now,

Selling Price per orange= (220.5/63)= 3.5
