Given That:

Selling price of 12 oranges = Cost price of 15 oranges

Solution:

Let the CP be ₹100 per orange.

CP of 15 oranges = 15 × 100 = ₹1500.

Then according to the given condition, we get

SP of 12 oranges = ₹1500

Therefore, SP of 1 orange = 1500/12 = ₹125

Therefore, profit = SP of 1 orange - CP of 1 orange = 125 - 100 = ₹25

Therefore, Profit Percentage = (25/100) × 100

= 25%

Hence, Profit is 25%

Hope you got it!.
