How much money will I make selling fruit?

30. 1 – 10 cases of fruit - $1 per case

31. 10 ½ - 20 cases of fruit = $1.25
10 ½ cases = $13.25

20 ½ cases = $30.75
30 cases = $45.00

33. 30 ½ - 40 cases = $1.75 per case
30 ½ cases = $53.25
40 cases = $70.00

34. 40 ½ - 50 cases of fruit = $2.00 per case
