Answer 2

Solution,

Let X be the buying price of car and Y be the buying price of jeep..!

20% of X = X/5

Selling price of car = Buying price of car - loss = 120000

X - X/5= 120000

(5X-X) /5 = 120000

4X = 120000 × 5

X = (12000 × 5)/4

X = 150000

Hence, Buying price of car is 150000

Now, for the jeep!!

20% of Y = Y/5

Selling price of jeep = Buying price of jeep + profit = 120000

Y + Y/5 = 120000

6 Y = 120000

Y = 100000

Hence, Buying price of jeep is 100000.

Total buying price = 250000

Total selling price = 240000

Loss is ==>> 100000

i. e, 40%....!
