  1. Answer:

    Step-by-step explanation:

    58%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Cost of first type orange = Rs 0.6

    cost 550 oranges of first type orange = 550*0.6 =Rs 330

    Cost of second type orange = Rs 0.5

    cost 240 oranges of second type orange = 240*0.5 =Rs 120

    Total number of orange =550+240 =790

    Cost of 1 set (10 Nos) of orange = Rs 9

    Number of set of 10 orange =79010 =7979010 =79

    cost of 79 set orange =79*9 =711

    Therefore he has profit:

    Profit percentage = 58%
