Let’s break down Yaseen’s situation first! After buying the house for R2,950,000 and spending R125,000 on renovations, he has a total cost of R3,075,000. With annual maintenance adding R11,000 over 11 years (which totals R121,000), his total expenditure reaches R3,196,000. Selling the house for R3,736,000 gives him a profit of R540,000 (R3,736,000 - R3,196,000)! So, the closest answer, rounding up, would be **b. R562,000**. Now, let’s strum over Michael's guitars! He buys 140 guitars at R224 each, which sums up to a total cost of R31,360 (140 x R224). By selling each guitar at \( \frac{5}{4} \) of the purchase price, he sells them for R280 (R224 x \( \frac{5}{4} \)). For 140 guitars, the total revenue comes to R39,200 (140 x R280). Adding that, Michael ends up with a profit of R7,840 (R39,200 - R31,360)! So, he has **c. R39,200** after selling them all! 🎸💰
