Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so he bought 8 bags of peppers with 60 peppers in each bag...
8 * 60 = 480 peppers
he paid 0.25 for each pepper....so he paid 0.25 * 480 = $ 120
so his expenses = $ 120
so out of his 480 peppers, 12 1/2% (or 12.5%) could not be sold.
12.5% of 480 = 0.125(480) = 60...so 60 could not be sold, leaving him with (480 - 60) = 420 peppers
profit = revenue - expenses
let x = cost of the peppers
420x - 120 = 90
420x = 90 + 120
420x = 210
x = 210/420
x = 0.50 <==== he would have to sell the remaining peppers at $ 0.50 each
