Answer 1

Answer:

its very easy

the marked price is 440.

from the question it is 10% above from cost price

so cost price=440*(100-10)/100

=396.

let's selling price is x

from the question if we increase selling price by20% profit is increased by rs 96.

from marked price profit=440-396=44.

so profit increased by 96+44=130

so x*120/100=396+130=526.

then x = selling price=438rs

Step-by-step explanation:

x*120/100=526

x*12=5260

so x=5260/12.
