pyramid pile of oranges

Roelof Louw's conceptual art involves viewers in eating the fruit

as Gavin Wraith points out (in a letter to the i paper, 13/04/2016) it would have been (numerically) more interesting if the square based pyramid had been 24 tiers high

at 25 pence per orange, how much would a pyramid this size cost?
if each orange weighs, on average, 80 grams how much would a pyramid this size weigh?
