Answer 2

Answer:

Selling price of the car to make a profit of  20% is $6000 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Diana bought a car for $5000 and plans to sell it to make a 20% profit.

20% is written in the decimal form

$= \frac{20}{100}$

= 0.20

20% of $5000 = 0.20 × Cost price of car

                        = 0.20 × 5000

                        = $ 1000

Selling price of the car = Cost price of the car + 20% of $5000

                                      = $ 5000 + $ 1000

                                      = $ 6000

Therefore the selling price of the car to make a profit of  20% is $6000 .
