Question

Mr. Santiago bought 10 crates of oranges. There were 50 oranges in each crate. He sold 65% of them. 8% of the remainder went bad, and he threw them away.

a) How many money did Mr. Santiago earn if he sold the oranges 5 for $1.20?


b) If he made $24.15 by selling the rest of the oranges, how many did he charge for each orange?

Answer 1

part 1
No idea, since you didn't tell us what he paid for them

part 2
So he had 35% of the 500 oranges left or 175
of those 8% went bad so he still had
92% of the 175 to sell or 161

return per orange = 24.15/161 = .15

he sold them at 15 cents each
( good price, must be an old textbook)
