let total price is 100 %

then loss 10 %

that is 90 % = 400

1% = 400/90

and he wants to gain 8 %

so,

108 % = 400 / 90 × 108

Answer 2

Answer:

411.5226337449

Step-by-step explanation:

sp=400

loss%=10%

cp=(SP * 100 ) / ( 100 – percentage loss )

cp=40000/90

444.444444444

cp=444.444444444

gain=8%

sp=100+gain%/cp×100

108/44444.44444444
