Answer:
10 bananas
Step-by-step explanation:
Compare same things in the same order to write a proportion
(fraction = fraction)
bananas/rupees
=4dozen/R60
=4(12)/R60
=48/60
=4/5
The question says
bananas/rupees
=unknown/R12.5
4/5 = x/12.5
crossmultiply
4(12.5) = 5x
50 = 5x
divide by 5
10 = x
You can buy 10 bananas for R12.5
10 bananas
Step-by-step explanation:
In ₹60, we can purchase 4 dozen bananas
=> 4×12
=> 48 bananas
In ₹1, we can purchase:-
[tex] \frac{48}{60} [/tex]bananas
In ₹12.50, we can purchase:-
[tex] \frac{48}{60} \times 12.50[/tex]
[tex] = > \frac{48 \times 1250}{60 \times 100}[/tex]
[tex] = > \frac{8 \times 125}{100}[/tex]
By reducing to lowest terms, we get,
[tex]10[/tex]
Hence, 10 bananas can be purchased for ₹12.50
