Respuesta :

The sell price should be ; $20.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of pounds bought= 52

Spoil percent is 10%

Pounds that remained after spoil= 90/100 * 52 = 46.8 lb

Price of banana per pound= $0.28

Cost of buying = 46.8*0.28 =$13.10

Mark up expected =59%

Increase $13.10 by 59%

=159/100 * 13.10 = $20.84
