Question

a used car salesman buys a car for $2500 and sells it for $4327.  He then buys a camper with two thirds of his profit and sells the camper for twice what he paid for it.  How much money did the salesman make during these transactions.

Answer 1

You can subtract 4327-2500 to find his profit on the car.  Then take the profit and multiply it be  2/3 to find how much he buys the camper for.  when you find the price multiply it by 2 and that will tell you how much he sold it for.  take a look at the profits from both to find how much money he made.
