Question

By selling oranges at the rate of Rs 5 1/4 per orange, a fruit-seller gets Rs 630. How many dozens of oranges does he sell?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given cost of 1 orange is Rs 5 (1/4) = (21/4)

He got Rs 630 by selling the oranges

Number of dozens of oranges sold by him for Rs 630 is = (4/21) × 630

= 120 apples

But we know that 1 dozen = 12

120 apples means 10 dozens.

Answer 2

10

Step-by-step explanation:

price of orange is 5 1/4 or 21/4 Rs per orange

price per orange × number of oranges = total amount

21/4.X= 630. (X is the number of oranges)

X = 630×4/21 = 30×4 = 120 oranges

In one dozen there are 12 hence 120/12 = 10 dozens
