Question 1098579
<br>The solution by the other tutor is valid; but I would not go that way....<br>
If the dealer made a 25% profit, then the selling price is 125% of his total cost:<br>
{{{18000 = 1.25x}}}
{{{14400 = x}}}<br>
If his total cost was $14,400 and he paid $12,600 for the car, then the amount he spent on repairs was {{{14400-12600 = 1800}}}
