Answer: Ksh 6144
Step-by-step explanation:
On Thursday, a fruit vendor bought 1948 oranges on a Thursday and sold 750. The number of oranges left will be: = 1948 – 750 = 1198
On n Friday, he sold 240 more oranges than on Thursday. This means the number of oranges sold is: = 240 + 750 = 990.
The number for f oranges left will then be: = 1198 – 990 = 208
On Saturday, he bought 560 more
oranges, the total oranges that the vendor has now will be:
= 208 + 560 = 768
Since sold all the oranges he had at a price of Ksh. 8 each, the amount if money made will be:
= Ksh 8 × 768
= Ksh 6144
The vendor made Ksh 6144
