Answer

To find the cost of 39 oranges given that 15 oranges cost ₹70, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Find the cost of 1 orange
To find the cost of one orange, we divide the total cost of 15 oranges by the number of oranges.

\[ \text{Cost of 1 orange} = \frac{\text{Total cost of 15 oranges}}{\text{Number of oranges}} = \frac{70}{15} \]

### Step 2: Calculate the cost of 1 orange
Now, we perform the division:

\[ \frac{70}{15} = 4.67 \text{ (approximately)} \]

So, the cost of 1 orange is approximately ₹4.67.

### Step 3: Find the cost of 39 oranges
To find the cost of 39 oranges, we multiply the cost of one orange by 39.

\[ \text{Cost of 39 oranges} = \text{Cost of 1 orange} \times 39 = 4.67 \times 39 \]

### Step 4: Calculate the cost of 39 oranges
Now, we perform the multiplication:

\[ 4.67 \times 39 = 182.13 \text{ (approximately)} \]

Since we are dealing with currency, we can round this to ₹182.

### Final Answer
The cost of 39 oranges is approximately ₹182.
