Charles bought 40 boxes of oranges for $258. There were 24 oranges in each box. He threw away 15 rotten oranges and sold the rest at 3 for $1. How much money did he make?

40 * 24 = 960

960 - 15 = 945


945 / 3 = $315


Charles made 315

I hope this helped!

24 x 40 = 960 oranges
960 - 15 = 945
945 / 3 = 315
so he made 315$
