<output>20</output>
20   Selling price of an orange= 10 --&gt; Cost price = 10/1.25= 
<gadget id="calculator">10/1.25</gadget>
<output>8</output>
8   A &gt; O   23*(A) + 10*(O)= 653   653 - 23*(A) has to be divisible by 10 --&gt; Units digit has to be 0   Values of A can be 1, 11, 21, 31, .... --&gt; 1 cannot be the value   17.4%etween 11 and 21, If A = 11, O = 30 --&gt; Not possible   If A = 21, O = 17 --&gt; Possible   Cost price = 20*21 + 8*17 = 420 + 136= 
<gadget id="calculator">420 + 136</gadget>
<output>556</output>
556   Profit= 653 - 556=
