Answer:

A car dealership needs $13050 to sell the car to earn the 45% profit if a car dealership buys a car for $9000.

Explanation:

Car cost = $9000

Profit percentage = 45% profit

Thus,

Profit amount = 45% of 9000

= 45/100 × 9000

= 0.45 × 9000

= $4050

In order to determine how much a car dealership needs to sell the car to earn the 45% profit, all we need is to add the profit amount i.e. $4050, and the car cost i.e. $9000.

i.e.

Car cost + Profit amount = $9000 + $4050

= $13050

Therefore, a car dealership needs $13050 to sell the car to earn the 45% profit if a car dealership buys s car for $9000.
