Let seller have 100 fruits at first place.
Assume Cost of each fruit is $1 and hence total cost of fruits = $100.
total fruits rotten and damaged = 15+10= 25
total fruits left = 75.
In order to get overall 20% profit S.P. should be $120 and cost of fruits (C.P.) is $100.
Hence price per fruit = $120/75 = $1.6
(why 75 fruits?) as 25 fruits have been damaged or rotten.
Hence required profit percentage = (1.6-1)*100/1= 60%
Hope this helps :)
