Answer:
Let the price of radio be p
it was sold at 10% loss, so selling price = 0.9p
Add 168 to 0.9p
0.9p + 168 is new selling price where he gets 4% profit.
That means selling price now is p× (1.04)
p×(1.04) = 0.9p + 168
p×1.04 - 0.9p = 168
0.14p = 168
p = 168/0.14 = 1200
So radio was sold at 1200×0.9 = 1080
