I recommend one should use fractions to solve this one rather than converting it into decimals   Sol:   1500 heads -&gt; $600   1 head -&gt; $600/1500   1 head -&gt; $(2/5)   25% more of (2/5) -&gt; 125/100 * 2/5 = $(1/2)   He sold   2/3*1500= 
<gadget id="calculator">  2/3*1500</gadget>
<output>1_000</output>
1000 heads for $(1/2) per head   Total revenue by selling 1000 heads= 1000 * 1/2= 
<gadget id="calculator">1000 * 1/2</gadget>
<output>500</output>
$500   Heads left: 500   c) $125ost per head: 90% of the previous price: 90/100 * 1/2= $(9/20)   Total revenue by selling 500 heads = 9/20 * 500= 
<gadget id="calculator">9/20 * 500</gadget>
<output>225</output>
225   Total revenue after selling 1500 cabbage heads - 225+500= $725   Money spent on the purchase: $600   Profit Q= 725-600=
