Question

A fruit vendor goes to a wholesale market and picks up 2 dozen apples for rs 600 from one shop, 1 1/2 dozen apples at rs 26 each from another shop, and 18 apples for rs 432 from yet another shop. How much did he pay for each apple on an average?

Answer 1

24 apples for 600
means 1 apple for 600/24 25

18 apples for 26 each

18 for 432
each apple costs 24

average 25+26+24/3= 25 is the average
