Question

The cost of 3 dozen oranges is rupee 54 how many oranges can be purchased for rupee 24 ?

Can you explain the steps plsss it’s for my assignment

Answer 1

You can buy 17 oranges for rupee 24.

Explanation:

3 dozen = 3 x 12 = 39 oranges

54 ÷ 39 = 1.38461538462

1 orange = rupee 1.38

1.38461538462 x 17 = 23.5384615385

17 oranges = rupee 23.54

If you add the cost of 1 more orange it would cost more than rupee 24 so you can only buy 17 oranges for rupee 24.

Hope this helps :)
