if you divide 25 by 12 and use decimals in calculations, you lose accuracy in final answer.

Buying price for 12 lemons: ₹ 25.
Selling price for 12 lemons: ₹ 12 *12/5 = ₹ 28.80 .
Profit = 28.80 - 25 = ₹ 3.80, Or,
3.80/25 × 100 = 15.2 %
We don't calculate cost price per one lemon as a decimal value. If we do we lose accuracy in the calculation of final answer. Also we will need a calculator in that case.
