Answer:
3 dozen of mangoes were bought.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mangoes were bought at the rate of Rs. 1.50 per dozen
Mangoes were sold at the rate of Rs. 2.50 per dozen
Profit made = Rs. 2.25
Let,
x be the dozen of mangoes bought.
Profit = Selling cost - Purchase cost
2.25 = 2.25x - 1.50x
2.25 = 0.75x
0.75x = 2.25
Dividing both sides by 0.75
[tex]\frac{0.75x}{0.75}=\frac{2.25}{0.75}\\x = 3[/tex]
Hence,
3 dozen of mangoes were bought.
