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)
Part 1- Mr. Santiago bought 10 crates of oranges. There were 50 oranges in each crate. He sold %65 of them. How much did Mr. Santiago earn if he sold the oranges 5 for $1.20?
Part 2- A week after the first sale %8 of the remaining oranges (from part 1) went bad and he threw them away. The leftover oranges were then sold for a total of $24.15 . How much did he charge for each orange?
