Question
oranges cost Rs. 1,56 per doz.and bananas cost Rs. 4.32 per dozs.find the cost of 100 oranges and 100 bananas.

Answer
Hi Khan,

If oranges cost 1.56 for 12, then the cost for one orange is 1.56/12 = 0.13.  If bananas cost 4.32 for 12, then the cost for one banana is 4.32/12 = 0.36.

The cost of 100 oranges and 100 bananas would be

100*0.13 + 100*0.36 = 49.00
