Final answer:

To find out how much 39 oranges cost based on direct proportion, we first determine the cost of one orange from the provided 15 oranges costing rupees 70. Then, we multiply the cost of one orange by 39 to find the total cost, which rounds to rupees 182.13.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 15 oranges cost rupees 70, we can find the cost of one orange and then calculate the cost of 39 oranges using direct proportion.

Firstly, we calculate the cost of one orange:

  1. Cost of 15 oranges = rupees 70.
  2. Cost of 1 orange = rupees 70 / 15.
  3. Cost of 1 orange = rupees 4.67 (rounded to two decimal places).

Now, using direct proportion to find the cost of 39 oranges:

  1. Cost of 39 oranges = 39 × cost of 1 orange.
  2. Cost of 39 oranges = 39 × rupees 4.67.
  3. Cost of 39 oranges = rupees 182.13 (rounded to two decimal places).

Therefore, 39 oranges would cost rupees 182.13 based on the direct proportion.
