How much did Mutua get from the sale of a car?

      

Mutua bought a used car at Ksh. 500,000. He spent further Ksh. 75,000 on it for repairs and modification. He then sold it at 20% profit. How much did he get from the sale?

  

Answers


Raphael
Total spendings on the car = Ksh (500000 + 70000) = Ksh. 575000

Profit = $\frac{20}{100}\times 575000$=Ksh. 115000

Selling Price = 575000 + 115000 = Ksh. 690000
