As the current price oranges has increased by, 36/7% Eight oranges are less available at $.552 then before. What is current price of each dozen oranges?
Answers
Solution :-
Let us assume that, Initial price of each orange is $ 7x .
So,
→ Total oranges bought initially = (552/7x)
now,
→ New Price of orange = (7x * 736)/700 = $ 7.36x
then,
→ Total oranges bought = (552/7.36x)
A/q,
→ (552/7x) - (552/7.36x) = 8
→ (552/x)[(1/7 - 1/7.36] = 8
→ 69[(7.36 - 7)/(7*7.36)] = x
→ (69 * 0.36) / (7 * 7.36) = x
→ x = (2484/5152)
→ x = (621/1288)
therefore,
→ Initial price of each orange = 7x = 7 * (621/1288) = $ (621/184)
hence,
→ Current price of each dozen oranges = 12 * (621/184) = $ 40.5 (Ans.)
