Answer 1

160 cars

The computation of the number of more cars he washed this year is given below;

Last year, he washed 20 cars a week so on yearly basis he washed

= 20 cars × 52 weeks

= 1,040 cars

And, this year he washed 1,200 cars

So, the number of more cars he washed this year is

= 1,200 cars - 1,040 cars

= 160 cars
