1. Given;

   purchased,

   • 3 dozen apples at Rs 240/dozen
   • 2 dozen apples at Rs 360/dozen
   • 5 dozen apples at Rs 180/dozen

   To Find;

   • Average cost of the Apple

   Solution;

   • Total cost of 3 dozen apples = 3 × 240

   = Rs 720

   • Total cost of 2 dozen apples = 2 × 360

   = Rs 720

   • Total cost of 5 dozen apples = 5 × 180

   = Rs 900

   • total number of apples purchased

   = (3 × 12)+(2 × 12)+(5 × 12)

   = 36 + 24 + 60

   = 120

   Therefore;

   Total cost of all the apples = 720 + 720 + 900

   = Rs 2340

   Formula Used;

   • Average cost of apples

   = total cost / total number of apples

   Substituting the values;

   Average cost = 2340/120

   = Rs 19.5

   Conclusion;

   • The average cost of the Apple is Rs 19.5
