Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given, 12 oranges cost 45 rs

this means that one orange will cost 45/12rs or 3.75rs

now, since cost of one orange is 45/12 or 3.75rs

we can buy 60/45/12 or 16 oranges[ you can divide it by 3.75 too but it's longer ]

Answer 2

Answer: (a) ₹75

               (b) 16

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out what the cost of one orange is. To do that we divide the cost with the no. of oranges which is 45 ÷ 12 (dozen) which is ₹3.75

Now we will find out the cost of one score of oranges. One score of oranges is 20 and the cost of 1 orange is ₹3.75 so we multiply to get the total cost. The answer will be ₹75.

Now we will find out the number of oranges which can be purchased for ₹60. All we have to do is divide 60 by 3.75 and the answer is 16 oranges.

Hope this helps!
