Answer: Ksh 6144

Explanation:

On Thursday, a fruit vendor bought 1948 oranges on a Thursday and sold 750. The number of oranges left will be: = 1948 - 750 = 1198

On n Friday, he sold 240 more oranges than on Thursday. This means the number of oranges sold is: = 240 + 750 = 990.

The number for f oranges left will then be: = 1198 - 990 = 208

On Saturday, he bought 560 more

oranges, the total oranges that the vendor has now will be:

= 208 + 560 = 768

Since sold all the oranges he had at a price of Ksh. 8 each, the amount if money made will be:

= Ksh 8 × 768

= Ksh 6144

The vendor made Ksh 6144
