Answer»

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

Let x be the cost price of the car,

DISCOUNT percentage = 20%,

So, the price he invested in the car = x - 20% of x

= x - 0.2x

= 0.8x

The percentage he hiked the price on the original price = 20%,

THUS, the selling price of the car =x + 20% of x

= x + 0.2x

= 1.2x

Hence, the PROFIT %

= 5%
