A fruit vendor purchased 540 fruits in all for $150. He sold 15 dozens at 2 bananas a dollar, another 15 dozens at 3 bananas a dollar and the remaining at 5 bananas a dollar. Find his loss or gain percentage. ( with explanation )

First find how much bananas are in a dozen

15 x 12 = 180

Divide the amount by the amount of bananas per dollar to find profit

180 / 2 = $90

Do the same thing as before

15 x 12 = 180

180 / 3 = $60

Find how many bananas are left

180 + 180 = 360

540 - 360 = 180

Do the same as before

180 / 5 = $36

Add up all the money. 90 + 60 + 36 = 186

Subtract the cost

185 - 150 = 36

To find percentage increase

36 / 150 = 0.24 or 24% profit
