Question: A fruit seller sells 20 oranges for Tk. 900 and suffers a loss equal to the cost price of 5 oranges. Find the cost price of one orange.

Solution:
Let,
cost price of 1 orange is = Tk. x
∴ cost price of 20 oranges is = Tk. 20x
∴ cost price of 5 oranges is = Tk. 5x

We know,
Cost price - Selling price = Loss
20x - 900 = 5x
⇒ 20x - 5x = 900
⇒ 15x = 900
⇒ x = 900/15
∴ x = 60

∴ Cost price of 1 orange is Tk. 60
