Cp = X
Profit = (X+20%)
Sp = (14x + 48)
Sp = cp + profit
14x + 48 = X + X + 20/100 X [20% was given]
14X + 48 = 2X + X/5
Multiply the entire equation by 5
70X + 240 = 10X + X
Sorry to say but check the question once again
I could solve it till here but if we solve further the value of X will be negative which is not possible because X in the given sum is cp
