Based on the amount of oranges bought, those sold at a profit and those sold at a loss, the overall profit is 14.2%

What is the overall profit?

Assume that the buying price was $1 each.

The amount earned from 60% of them is:

= 60% x 100,000 x 1

= $60,000

The profit from selling 50% of the remaining is:

= (50% x 40,000) x 1.60

= $32,000

The loss from selling the other 50%:

= (50% x 40,000) x 0.90

= $22,222.22

Total selling price:

= 60,000 + 32,000 + 22,222.22

= $114,222.22

Total profit:

= (114,222.22 - 100,000) / 100,000

= 14.2%
