Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Loss% = 25% and profit% = 20%

By the short trick approach, we get

New SP of an orange =  100 + Profit %  × Old SP of an orange

100 – Loss %

=  100 + 20  ×  30

100 – 25 32

=  120  ×  30  =  6  

75 32 4

Or,

=   6 × 4  =  24  

4 × 4 16

Hence, 16 oranges for Rs. 24 to be sold to gain 20% as profit.
