Answer» Given, 7 oranges are bought for Rs. 3. Hence, ⇒The cost price of 1 oranges=Rs. 3/7 ⇒And, the cost price of 100 oranges=$(Rs.\frac{3}{7} \times 100)$ = Rs. 300/7 Let the SELLING price of these 100 oranges be X. We know that, Selling price = Cost price × (1 + Gain %) Since the gain has to be 33%. THUS, ⇒Selling price for 100 oranges $(= \frac{{300}}{7} \times \left( {1 + \frac{{33}}{{100}}} \right))$ = Rs. 57 Hence, the oranges must be sold at a rate of Rs. 57 PER hundred. |
