Answer:

Ahmed's profit is the difference between the selling price and the buying price:

Profit = Selling Price - Buying Price

Profit = £190,270 - £179,500

Profit = £10,770

To calculate the percentage profit, we need to divide Ahmed's profit by his buying price, and then multiply by 100 to convert the fraction to a percentage:

Percentage Profit = (Profit/Buying Price) x 100%

Percentage Profit = (£10,770/£179,500) x 100%

Percentage Profit = 0.06 x 100%

Percentage Profit = 6%

Therefore, Ahmed makes a 6% profit on the sale of the house.
