m+p-n

Step-by-step explanation:

given that Jerry manages a local car dealership. At the beginning of the month, his lot had m vehicles. During the month his salesman sold n vehicles, and he purchased p vehicles more

We are to find the number of vehicles did the dealership have at the end of the month

At the end of the month the dealer would have

no of vehicles at the start of the month - sales of the vehicle in that month+Purchase of vechicles during that month

No of vehicles at the start of the month = m

Purchase during month = p

Total vehicles including purchase = m+p

LESS: Vehicles sold in the month = n

No of vehicles at the end = m+p-n
