Answer 2

Number of oranges has to be sold is 12

Given:  

Number of oranges sold for Rs.60 = 12

Percentage loss = 25%.

To find:

Number of oranges need to be sold for Rs.100

Solution:

For 12 oranges,selling price = 60

And loss = 25%

Now, we can calculate cost price of twelve oranges,

Cost price for 12 oranges $=60 \times \frac{100}{75}=80$

To gain 25%

Selling price of 12 oranges $=80+\frac{25}{100} \times 80$

=Rs.100  

Therefore, in order to gain 25%, 12 oranges has to be sold for 100 rupees
