At a fruit stand yesterday, the price of each apple was $0.10 more than the price of each orange.
What was the total revenue from the sale of oranges at the fruit stand yesterday?
(1) The number of oranges sold at the fruit stand
yesterday was 5 more than the number of
apples.
(2) The total revenue from the sale of apples
at the fruit stand yesterday was $15.00

Price of Orange : x
Price of each Apple : x + $0.10

Statement 1:
number of apple sold : n
number of oranges sold : n+5
Sale of Orange : x(n+5)
Overall sale : (x(n+5))+(n(x+0.10))
Still revenue from the sale of oranges is inconclusive. Hence Not Suffcient

Stetement 2
Sale of Apple n(x+0.10)= 15.
Still revenue from the sale of oranges is inconclusive. Hence Not Suffcient
Answer E.
However QA states : C.
Am going wrong somewhere ?
