Total cost = 150 + 20 = 170


Total sales earned = 170 + 22 = 192


144 oranges = 192


12 oranges = 192 ÷ 12 = Rs 16


Answer: The selling price of a a dozen of oranges is Rs 16


piki68: can u explain little much
TooFree: 1. We find the total amount of money spent to get the 144 oranges. (The cost of the oranges + the transportation)

2. We add in the profit he wants to make. ( Cost + profit)

3. Find the cost of a dozen (a dozen = 12) oranges by dividing 144 by 12 and the total amount by 12.
