A mango costs Rs. 200 and an orange costs Rs. 100. If the price of mango increases by 20% and the price of orange increases by 25%, what is the percentage change in the total amount spent by a person who wants to buy 10 mangoes and 5 oranges after the price increase?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Calculate the new price of mango after 20% increase:
   $$200 + 20\% 	imes 200 = 200 + 40 = 240$$

2. Calculate the new price of orange after 25% increase:
   $$100 + 25\% 	imes 100 = 100 + 25 = 125$$

3. Calculate the total cost before price increase:
   $$10 	imes 200 + 5 	imes 100 = 2000 + 500 = 2500$$

4. Calculate the total cost after price increase:
   $$10 	imes 240 + 5 	imes 125 = 2400 + 625 = 3025$$

5. Calculate the percentage increase in total cost:
   $$\frac{3025 - 2500}{2500} 	imes 100 = \frac{525}{2500} 	imes 100 = 21\%$$

**Answer:** 21\%
