The cost of packaging of the oranges is 20% the cost of fresh oranges themselves. The cost of oranges increased by 30% but the cost of packaging decreased by 50%, then the percentage change of the cost of packed oranges, if the cost of packed oranges is equal to the sum of the cost of fresh oranges and cost of packaging
Explanation:
Let initial Cost of fresh, oranges = 100.
packaging cost = 20.
Initial total cost = 100 + 20 = 120
After increasing in cost of fresh mangoes 30%,
Cost of fresh mangoes = 130 And cost of packing go down by 50 %
so,Cost of packing = 10.
Total cost = 130 + 10 = 140.
Increased cost = 140 – 120 = 20.
% increased = (20*100) /120 = 16.66%
