Answer 2

The selling price of truck would be Rs. 114696.048.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost price of truck = Rs. 114330

Rate he spent on repairs = 13%

So, Total cost of truck would be

$114330+14862.90\\\\=Rs.\ 129192.9$

Profit % = 12%

So, Selling price would be

$\dfrac{100+12}{100}\times 129192.9\\\\=\dfrac{112}{100}\times 129192.9\\\\=1.12\times 129192.9\\\\=114696.048$

Hence, the selling price of truck would be Rs. 114696.048.
