Question

The price of bananas is ` 30 a dozen. Aditya can buy 12 dozen bananas with the amount of money he has. If the price of bananas is increased by ` 10 a dozen, how many dozen bananas can Aditya buy

Answer 1

Answer:

9 dozens

Step-by-step explanation:

One dozen = 12 bananas

Cost of one dozen = 30 rupees

Amount Aditya has = cost of 12 dozen bananas

Cost of 12 dozen bananas = 12×30

Cost of 12 dozen bananas = 360 rupees

Amount Aditya has = 360 rupees

New cost of one dozen bananas = 30+10

New cost of one dozen bananas = 40 rupees

As Aditya has 360 rupees,

Number of dozens Aditya can buy = 360/40

Number of dozens Aditya can buy = 9

Aditya can buy 9 dozens after increase of rs. 10 per dozen

Answer 2

Answer:

Step by step explanation:

We know that,

1 dozen = 12

Given that,

➡️ Cost of one dozen = 30 rupees

➡️ Aditya has = 12 dozen bananas

▪️ Price of 12 dozen bananas = 12×30

▪️ Price is 12 dozen = 360₹

Now, we will have to find cost of new bananas.

▪️ Increase in money = 10

Therefore,

=> 30+ 10

=> 40

▪️ No. of dozen Aditya can buy

=> 360/40

=> 9

◼️ Aditya can buy 9 dozens after increasing 10₹.
