7000 is how many times 500? Easier yet, how many 509 in 1000? I say 2, right? Do you agree that 500 x 2 = 1000?
How many 1000 in 7000? Maths says 7 because 1000 x 7 = 7000
.
Since there are 2 500 in 1000, there are 2 x 7 500's in 7000. You should get 14000 which is the profit

How can one tell if the number and profit of the CALCULATORS are not stated?
If in case CALCULATORS should be radios, then the CORRECT answer is R168,000.
