Answer 1

let the selling price of 1 orange be rs 1
selling price of 55 oranges =rs1*55
=rs 55
gain=sp of 11 oranges
sp of 11 oranges=rs1*11
=rs11
cp=sp+gain
=55+11
=rs66
gain%=(11/66)*100

✔ 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%
