I'm assuming the 59% achievement means, markup, so hmmmm well, if the bananas cost him $0.24 or 24cents per pound, so a markup of 59% is just 59% of 0.24 then.

whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

therefore, 59% of 0.24 is just (59/100) * 0.24, or 0.1416.

so, if we add 0.1416 to the 0.24, the selling price will be 0.3816, or just 38cents per pound of bananas.

If nCk represents the number of ways k parts can be chosen from a pool of n, the probability of interest is the complement of the probability of selecting all good parts.
1 - (167C3)/(170C3) = 42,085/804,440 ≈ 0.0523

_____
nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!)
