1. **Stating the problem:** A boy bought a bed on hire purchase terms. He paid a deposit of 2800 and six equally monthly instalments of 1500 each. We need to find the total hire purchase price of the bed. 2. **Formula used:** The hire purchase price is the sum of the deposit and all the instalments. 3. **Calculation:** - Deposit = 2800 - Number of instalments = 6 - Each instalment = 1500 4. **Total instalments amount:** $$6 \times 1500 = 9000$$ 5. **Total hire purchase price:** $$2800 + 9000 = 11800$$ 6. **Explanation:** The total price is the initial deposit plus the total of all monthly payments. Adding these gives the full amount paid for the bed under hire purchase terms. **Final answer:** The hire purchase price of the bed is 11800.
