Question

find the ratio of the price of the banana to that of an egg .if bananas cost 18 per dozen and the egg cost rupees 125 per hundred

Answer 1

The ratio of the price of the banana to that of an egg is 6 : 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given by question,

The cost of one dozen bananas = Rs. 18 and the cost of one hundred eggs = Rs. 125

To find, the ratio of the price of the banana to that of an egg = ?

The cost of 12 bananas = Rs. 18

∴ The cost of 1 banana = Rs. $\dfrac{18}{12}$=Rs.1.5

Also, the cost of one hundred eggs = Rs.125

∴ The cost of one egg= Rs. $\dfrac{125}{100}$= Rs. 1.25

∴ The ratio of the price of the banana to that of an egg = Rs. 1.5 : Rs. 1.25

$=\dfrac{150}{125}=\dfrac{6}{5}=6:5$

Hence, the ratio of the price of the banana to that of an egg is 6 : 5.
