Question

Cost of 5 mangoes + cost of 4 oranges = cost of 7 mangoes + cost of 1 orange. find the ratio of cost of mango to cost of orange ?

Answer 1

Let the cost of a mango be 'x' and cost of a orange be 'y'

So, according to question

5x + 4y = 7x + y

⇒ 3y = 2x

⇒ x/y = 3/2

∴ cost of mango : cost of orange = 3 : 2
