Assume that the regular price per orange is Rs x;\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Number of ornages that can be bought for Rs 240 is (240/x);\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the price per orange reduces by 20%, the reduced price per orange is 80% of x = .8x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Based on the reduced price, number of oranges that can be bought for Rs 240 would be (240/x + 48)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, Reduced price per orange * Number of oranges based on reduced price = 240
\n" ); document.write( "=> .8x(240/x + 48) = 240
\n" ); document.write( "=> 192 + 38.4x = 240
\n" ); document.write( "=> 38.4x = 48
\n" ); document.write( "=> x = 48/38.4 = 1.25\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The original price of each orange = Rs 1.25\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer:
\n" ); document.write( "The original price of orange per dozen = Rs 1.25 * 12 = Rs 15
\n" ); document.write( "The reduced price per orange is 80% of Rs 15 = Rs 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
