Oranges are bought at 5 for Rs.10

Cost of 5 oranges is Rs.10

So,cost of one orange =

5

10

=Rs.2

So the cost of 6 oranges=2×6=Rs.12

Cost of 6 oranges is Rs.12

Cost price=c.p=12

Selling Price=s.p=15

so profit =s.p−c.p=15−12=Rs.3

profit %=

C.P

profit×100

=

12

3×100

=25%

∴the profit % is 25%
