3600-423= 3168

Selling price = 3168

Answer 2

Answer: The selling price of the article is Rs. 3168

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of article = Rs. 3500

Transport charges = Rs. 100

Total CP = Rs. 3500+ Rs. 100 = Rs. 3600

Loss of 12%

Therefore

$SP = CP - 12\% \text { of } CP = 3600- \dfrac{12}{100} \times 3600 =3600- 432= Rs. 3168$

Hence, the selling price of the article is Rs. 3168
