Answer:1,76,000 Profit

Explanation:

Given

Jesse initially bought the car for 2,200,000 and sold it for 20 %

S.P.=C.P.(1+Profit%)

so, the Selling price of the car is S.P.=
2,200,000* 1.2=2,640,000

profit=2,640,000-2,200,000=4,40,000

After this, he bought another car and sells it for a 10 % loss

So, the selling price of the car is
2,640,000* 0.9=2,376,000

loss=2,640,000-2,376,000=2,64,000

Net Profit or loss=4,40,000-2,64,000=1,76,000 Profit
