Answer 2

Answer:

3933.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Cost price = 100x

Profit percent = 12 %

$profit \: percent \: = \frac{proft}{cp} \times 100 \\ = \frac{sp - cp}{cp} \times 100$

Actual Selling Price = 112x

If Sold for 480 less, New Selling Price= 112 x - 480

In this case, Loss = 8

Loss = Cost price - Selling Price

$8 = 100x -(112x - 480)$

$8 = 100x - 112x + 480$

$x = \frac{118}{3}$

$cp = \frac{118}{3} \times 100 = \frac{11800}{3} = 3933.33$
