A DEAL IN APPLES.

(Money Puzzles)
I paid a man a shilling for some apples, but they were so small that I
made him throw in two extra apples. I find that made them cost just a
penny a dozen less than the first price he asked. How many apples did I
get for my shilling?


Answer:

I was first offered sixteen apples for my shilling, which would be at
the rate of ninepence a dozen. The two extra apples gave me eighteen for
a shilling, which is at the rate of eightpence a dozen, or one penny a
dozen less than the first price asked.
