You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Cost = +200%2A28+=+5600+
Number of apples:
+60%2A200+=+12000+
+.15%2A12000+=+1800+ apples
+12000+-+1800+=+10200+
-----------------------------------
Let +p+ = the selling price per apple
+10200p+=+1.8%2A5600+
+102p+=+1.8%2A56+
+p+=+100.8%2F102+
+p+=+.9882+
.99 / apple
