Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Total cost of 1035 oranges at N145 each
= 1035 x 145
= 20025
Total selling price at N245 each
= (103)5 x 245
= 30325
Hence his gain = 30325 - 20025
= 10305
Total cost of 1035 oranges at N145 each
= 1035 x 145
= 20025
Total selling price at N245 each
= (103)5 x 245
= 30325
Hence his gain = 30325 - 20025
= 10305
