Let Jacob have bought the scooter at x Repairing cost= 10% of x= x/10
Net CP= x+x/10=1.1x
So 20% of 1.1x=1100
1.1x(20/100)=1100 Find x.
Find the cost of repair(i.e. 0.1 x) ..................................................................................................................................
