Bill and his motor scooter

-

Bill sold his motor scooter to Tom for £120. After driving it for a few days, Tom discovered it was in such a broken-down condition that he sold it back to Bill for 30% less than he paid. The next day Bill sold it to Jack for £90. What is Bill’s profit on the final sale?

    (100 - 30)% of 120 is 84 so if we do 120 - 84 we get 36. Now if he sold it to Jack for £90 we can add that to 36 so we get 126 as his profit
