Question
The cost of 4 dozen bananas is Rs 104. How many bananas can be purchased for Rs 6.50?
Solution
Number of bananas that can be purchased for Rs 104 = 48 (4 dozen)
Number of bananas that can be purchased for Re 1 = `48/104`
Number of bananas that can be purchased for Rs 6.50 = 6.50 ×`48/104=312/104` = 3
Hence, 3 bananas can be purchased for Rs 6.50.
