A fruit vendor bought 1948 oranges on a Thursday and sold 750 of them on the same day. On Friday, he sold 240 more oranges than on Thursday. On Saturday he bought 560 more oranges. Later that day, he sold all the oranges he had at a price of Ksh 8 each. Calculate the amount of money the vendor obtained from the sales of Saturday
Thursday: 1948 - 750 = 1198 remaining.
Friday: 1198-(750+240) = 208 remaining.
Saturday: (208 + 560)*0.08 =
6144

To calculate the amount of money the vendor obtained from the sales of Saturday, we need to determine the total number of oranges he had on Saturday.
On Thursday, the vendor bought 1948 oranges and sold 750, so he had 1948 - 750 = 1198 oranges remaining.
On Friday, he sold 240 more oranges than on Thursday, so he sold 750 + 240 = 990 oranges.
Therefore, on Saturday, the vendor had 1198 - 990 = 208 oranges remaining after Friday's sales.
Later that day, the vendor sold all the oranges he had, which is 208 oranges.
To calculate the amount of money obtained from the sales, we need to multiply the number of oranges sold by the price per orange. Since each orange was sold for Ksh 8, the calculation is as follows:
Amount of money obtained = Number of oranges sold * Price per orange = 208 * 8 = Ksh 1664.
Therefore, the vendor obtained Ksh 1664 from the sales of Saturday.
