Answers
Case-1:
The C.P. of 4 apples = Rs. 1
The C.P. of 1 apple = Rs.(1/4)
The C.P. of 12 apples = Rs.(1*12/4)
= Rs. 3
25% of rs. 3 = Rs. (3*25/100)
= Rs. (3/4)
= Rs. 0.75
So, to gain a profit of 25% he must sell each dozen of apple for rs. (3.00+0.75)
= Rs. 3.75
(Ans): Rs.3.75
Case-2:
The C.P. of 3 oranges = Rs. 1
The C.P. of 1 orange = Rs. (1/3)
The C.P. of 12 oranges = Rs.(1*12/3)
= Rs. 4
25% of rs. 4 = Rs. (4*25/100)
= Rs. 1
So, to gain a profit of 25% he must sell each dozen of orange for Rs. (4+1)
= Rs. 5
(Ans): Rs. 5
