(990*110)/33,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C P of the toy = Rs.100

If the Loss is 18%, the first S P = 100 - 18 = Rs.82

If he had been sold Rs.990 more gain = 15%

Therefore second S P = 100 + 15 = Rs 115

Difference in second S P and first S P = Rs.33(115 - 82=33)

If Rs,33 is the difference in S P , cost price = Rs. 100

If the difference in S P is Rs.990, cost price = 990*100/33= 3000rs

If make profit 10% now,

10% of cost price 3000rs

Answer is 300 rs

Now, finally s.p is 3000+300= 3300 that is answer.
