Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:  

.Let S.P. for one orange = x rupees

.Therefore, S.P. of 55 oranges = rupees 55x

.Gain = rupees 11x

. C.P. = S.P. + Gain

.C.P. = rupees 55x + rupees 11x

. C.P. = rupees 44x

Therefore,....

Gain % = Gain/C.P. × 100

= 11x/44x × 100

= 25 %

➡ Therefore, Gain = 25%
