Answer 2

Answer:

Each lemon should be sold at the rate of Rs. 15 to gain 20% profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Rate of lemons = 3 × 4 =₹12

Gain profit = 20%

Solution,

To gain 20% profit on the lemons,

$- > \frac{12}{x} \times \frac{20}{100} \\ - > x = \frac{12 \times 100}{20} \\ - > x = \frac{1200}{20} \\ - > x = 60$

$\frac{60}{4} = 15$

Therefore, each lemon should be sold at the rate of Rs. 15.
