• simple yar consider 1$=100 rupees
  36 oranges for 96 rupees(since 4%loss)
  so ? oranges for 108 rupees
  36----96
  ?------108
  ans is (36*96)/108=32 oranges;

• see in such type of questions u have to look for a net gain or net loss.
  now from coming to a gain of 8% from a loss of 4%=we have an overall gain of 4%
  so now think,
  he is selling 36 oranges for $1
  so for having a gain of 4% you have to sell the same36 oranges in [1-1*4/100]=$0.96
  so now if we sell 36 oranges in $0.96 for having a profit of 4%,
  we have to sell (36/0.96) oranges in $1 for having a profit of 4%
  thus total 37.5 oranges must be sell in $1 to get a profit of 4%....
