Answer:252000

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage profit(%p)=40

Cost price(cp)=180000

Selling price =sp

%p=(sp-cp)/cp x 100

40=(sp-180000)/180000 x 100

Cross multiply

40x180000=100(sp-180000)

7200000=100(sp-180000)

Divide both sides by 100

7200000/100=100(sp-180000)/100

72000=sp-180000

Collect like terms

sp=72000+180000

sp=252000

Answer: 252,000 tsh

Step-by-step explanation:

treat this as an percentage increase question, as you are adding 40% Of 180000 to the original cost to find the total price that it was sold at.

If this is a calculator questions, you can use

180000 x 1.4 = 252000

(This gives you 100% of the number + 40% of the number, as the selling price would be 140% of the cost , 140 / 100 would give you the multiplier)

If you cannot use a calculator, find 40% and add it to 180000

Divide by 10

10%= 18000

( x 4)

40% = 72000

180000+ 72000= 252000
