Question

Accepted Answer

- **Step 1:** Take 3 packs of first (6 for ₹15), 2 packs of second (4 for ₹12), 1 pack of third (3 for ₹9).
- **Step 2:** Total apples = $3	imes6+2	imes4+1	imes3=29$. Total cost = $3	imes15+2	imes12+1	imes9=78$. So cost per apple = $78/29\approx2.6897$.
- **Step 3:** Selling price per apple = $14/5=2.8$.
- **Step 4:** Profit percent = $\dfrac{2.8-78/29}{78/29}	imes100\approx4\%$. So there is about **4% profit**.
