The Apple Conundrum

Two women are selling apples. The first sells 30 apples at 2 for $1, earning $15. The second sells 30 apples at 3 for $1, earning $10. So between them they’ve sold 60 apples for $25.

The next day they set the same goal, but work together. They sell 60 apples at 5 for $2, but they’re puzzled to find that they’ve made only $24.
