Answer 1

110=3432

10 =312

120 = 3744

Answer 2

The selling price should be Rs.3744.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of goods.

It is given that by selling goods for rupees 3432, 10% of their cost is gained.

$x+\dfrac{10}{100}x=3432$

$x+0.1x=3432$

$1.1x=3432$

Divide both sides by 1.1.

$x=\dfrac{3432}{1.1}$

$x=3120$

The cost of goods is 3120.

Selling price for 20% gain is

$3120+\dfrac{20}{100}(3120)=3120+624=3744$

Therefore, the selling price should be Rs.3744.
