Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price be x.

Then

→ x + 5% of x = 252

→ x + $\frac{5x}{100}$ = 252

→ $\frac{100x+5x}{100}$ = 252

→ 105x= 25200

→ x = 25200 ÷ 105

→ x = 240

So the cost price is 240

So he should sell the tie at = 240 + (240 x 35%)

                                             = 240 + ($\frac{35}{100}$ x 240)

                                             = 240 + 84

                                             = 324
