Ben has $2000 for his business operations costs. He orders goods from his supplier and writes them a cheque for $600. His debtor pays him $800 from the purchases they had made on credit. Mr. Ben then decides to do equipment maintenance and spends $1200 on the whole operation. How much money is Mr. Ben remaining with?
Let's be accurate as possible. Think before you answer.
1000
When Mr.

Ben writes the cheque, he remains with $2000 - $600 = $1400.

His debtor pays him $800, increasing his operation capital to $1400 + $800 = $2200.

He spends $1200, remaining $2200 - $1200 = $1000 for business operations cost after maintenance.

.

Thus, the answer is 1000
