Answer: 985</h3>
=============================================
Work Shown:
A = amount after t hours
P = initial amount = 100
r = growth rate in decimal form = 0.10
t = number of hours = 24
--------
A = P*(1+r)^t
A = 100(1+0.10)^24
A = 100*(1.10)^24
A = 100*9.84973267580762
A = 984.973267580762
A = 985
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.
