The cost of one dozen bananas is Rs. 5. The cost of one dozen oranges is Rs. 75. What will the cost of one and a quarter dozen bananas and three-fourth dozen oranges?
givenÂ
cost of 12 banana = 5Â
so therefore cost of one banana is $$\frac{5}{12}$$
we also know 1 dozen = 12Â
therefore quarter dozen ($$\frac{1}{4}$$) is 3 fruits
similarly $$\frac{3}{4}$$ dozen is 9 fruits
so cost of one and a quarter dozen banana i.e 12 + 3 = 15 banana is $$\frac{5}{12}\times{15}$$
                                            = 6.25 rs
similarly cost of 12 oranges = 75 rs
therefore cost of one orange is $$\frac{75}{12}$$
therefore cost of 9 oranges is $$\frac{75}{12}\times{9}$$
                        = 56.25
hence total cost of fruits are 6.25 + 56.25
                       =62.5 rs
