✔ 最佳答案
Total cost=$120
Overall profit: 120(1-5%-20%)(1+40%)+120(20%)*0.5-120
=18
profit %=18/120*100%
=15%

Total cost = 120 x$1 = $120

Loss to damaged oranges = 120x5% = $6

Number of poor quality oranges = 120x20%=24

Number of good quality oranges = 120-24-6=90

Selling revenue from these 90 oranges = $90 x (1+40%)
=$126
Selling revenue from 24 poor quality oranges = 24x$1x(+40%)x0.5 = $16.8

Overall profit percentage = (126+16.8)/120 x 100% -1
= 19%

Total cost
= Money spent to buy the orange
= 120 x $1
= $120

Let $y be the marked price.
20% was sold at half of the marked price:
Money earned
= 120 x 20% x 0.5y
= 12y

The rest was sold at a profit of 40%
Money earned
= 120 x (1 - 20% - 5%) x (1 + 40%)y
= 126y

Overall profit percentage
= (12y + 126y - 120y) / 120y x 100%
= 15%
