He makes a profit of 20% no matter how many he sells.

Selling for Rs 18 means he makes a profit of Rs 3.
And this is #3/15xx100%=20%#

Say he sells a 100 scores. He bought them for Rs 1500
He will make a profit of Rs 300 which is also 20% of Rs 1500.

So he will make a profit of 20% on any number of apples.
