Jacob bought a scooter for a certain amount of money. He spent 10% of the cost on repairs and sold the scooter for a profit of Rs.1100.
How much did he spend on repairs if he made a profit of 20%?
Rs. 500
Let the C.P be Rs.x.
Then, 20% of x=1100⟹x=5500
C.P = Rs.5500
Expenditure on repairs = 10%
Actual price = Rs.(100110×5500)=Rs.5000
Expenditure on repairs = Rs.500
