    Explanation

    S.P of 36 oranges is Rs. 1 Then, S.P of 1 orange = 1/36 Loss % = 1% Let C.P of 1 orange be x ⇒ 99x100=136\frac{{99x}}{{100}} = \frac{1}{{36}} ⇒ x=10036×99x = \frac{{100}}{{36 \times 99}} Now, to make profit of 8% He should sell 1 orange at 108×10036×99×100=133\frac{{108 \times 100}}{{36 \times 99 \times 100}} = \frac{1}{{33}} Hence, Sohan has to sell 33 oranges in one rupee to get a profit of 8%.
