Question

A man bought an old car and spent 20 % of the cost on repairs. If his total
cost including repairs was $ 1,20,000, at what price did he buy the car?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A man bought an old and spent 20%

cost including repairs $120000

120000÷100×20

=24000

Answer 2

Answer:

Man spent 20%on repair

therefore total cost = 100%+20%

also total cost= 1,20,000

1,20,000=120%

to find 100 percent

1,20,000×100/120 = 1,00,000

therefore he buys the car at 1,00,000
