10% of all the cars is 20 limos.

20 * 10 = 200 cars total.

limos + vans + sedans = total cars
200 cars total - 20 limos - 60 vans = x sedans

x = 120 sedans

Answer:

120 sedans are in the fleet.

Explanation:

A fleet of vehicles is comprised of 60 vans, 20 limos and X sedans.

It is given that 10% of all vehicles are limos.

Let all vehicles be n

10% × n = 20

0.10n = 20

n =
(20)/(0.10)

n = 200

Now we have to calculate the number of sedans.

So 60 vans + 20 limos + x sedans = 200

80 + x = 200

x = 200 - 80

x = 120

Therefore, 120 sedans are in the fleet.
