A shipment of 1500 heads of cabbage, each of which was approximately the same size, was purchased for $900. The day the shipment arrived 2/3 of the heads were sold, each at 25% above the cost per head. The following day the rest were sold at a price equal to 10% less than the price each head sold for on the day before. What was the total gross profit on this shipment.	Choose the correct choice from the following
A) $100
B) b $115
C) c $187.5
D) d $130.5
E) e $135.5
Purchase cost = 900/1500= 
<gadget id="calculator">900/1500</gadget>
<output>3/5 = around 0.6</output>
$ 0.6   25% above the cost per head= (125/100)*0.6= 
<gadget id="calculator">(125/100)*0.6</gadget>
<output>0.75</output>
$ 0.75   2/3 of the heads were sold means 2/3*1500= 
<gadget id="calculator">2/3*1500</gadget>
<output>1_000</output>
1000 ,Selling amount for 1000 cabbage= 1000 * 0.75= 
<gadget id="calculator">1000 * 0.75</gadget>
<output>750</output>
$ 750   Remaining were sold at a price equal to 10% less than the price each head sold for on the day before i.e , (90/100)*0.75= $ 0.675   Hence selling cost for the remaining cabbage = 500 * 0.675= 
<gadget id="calculator">500 * 0.675</gadget>
<output>337.5</output>
$ 337.5   Total selling cost= 750 + 337.5= 
<gadget id="calculator">750 + 337.5</gadget>
<output>1_087.5</output>
$ 1087.5   Gross profit= $ 1087.5 - $ 900 = $ 187.5   Hence Answer is c $187.5.
