Explanation:

Let's call the number of rotten peppers "r".

We know that Mr. Henry paid $325.00 for the bag of peppers, and there were 400 peppers in the bag. So, the cost per pepper is:

325/400 = $0.8125

Now, let's look at the selling price. Mr. Henry sold the good peppers in heaps of 5 for $10.00 per heap, which means he sold each pepper for $2.00.

Let's call the number of good peppers "g".

The total revenue from selling the good peppers is:

5*(g/5)*$10.00 = $10g

We know that Mr. Henry made a profit of $375.00, so:

$10g - $325.00 = $375.00

$10g = $700.00

g = 70

So, Mr. Henry had 70 good peppers.

We can use this information to find the number of rotten peppers:

r + g = 400

r + 70 = 400

r = 330

Therefore, Mr. Henry bought 330 rotten peppers.
