5 answers

How much did he buy?
Do you mean how much should he sell IT FOR?

20% of 9000, PLUS transportation cost
= 1800 + 540 = 2340 rs
ADDITION TO THE QUESTION
2340+9000
=$11340 He must sold the grain to make 20 % prophet.
to make 20% over his total coast:

(9000 + 540 )1.20 = 1.2(9540) = 11448

That is 20% profit. A prophet is something else entirely.
A coast is not a cost either :)
