Question

Some mangoes were bought at the rate of rupees 1.50 per dozen and sold at the rate of rupees 2.25 per dozen if there is a profit of rupees 2.25 how many mangoes one bought

Answer 1

Hello!!

• Cost Price = rupees 1.50 per dozen

• Selling Price = rupees 2.25 per dozen

• Profit = rupees 2.25

( So, let the total mangoes bought be x )

• 2.25 x - 1.50 x = 2.25

• 0.75 x = 2.25

• x = 2.25

0.75

• x = 3

• Mangoes bought = 3 dozens ( 36 mangoes )

( 1 dozen = 12 unit

so, 3 dozens = 3 × 12 = 36 )

Hope it helps you!!

Answer 2

3 doze ( 36) mangoes were bought
