Solution : Given: The cost price of 28 oranges equals the selling price of 24 oranges. Let the selling price of 1 orange = Rs. 1 So, the cost price of 28 oranges = selling price of 24 oranges = 1 × 24 = 24 Selling price of 28 oranges = 1 × 28 = 28 So, profit percentage $= \frac{28-24}{24}×100=16 \frac{2}{3}$% Hence, the correct answer is $16 \frac{2}{3}$%.
