Required Selling Price inclusive of profit = 1,105,000 + 39000 = 1144000

Therefore Selling price of each car = 1144000 / 13 = 88000

Ans: B

David is looking to make profit of 39000 on 13 cars or 3000/car

Cost of 1 BMW= 1,105,000/13= 85000

He should sell at (85000+3000)= 88000 to make desired profit

B is the answer

Alternative approach using unit digit method without multiplication or division

Profit = Total selling - Total cost

Total selling = Profit + Total cost

Ignoring zeros---------Total selling = 39 + 1,105.......... unit digit = 4..So we should search for answer that when unit price is multiplied by 13 cars will give unit digit 4.

85 * 13= 5

88 * 13 = 4

94 * 13 = 2

124 * 13 =2

139 * 13 =7

clearly Answer is B

We can create the equation:

13n - 1,105,000 = 39,000

13n = 1,144,000

n = 88,000
