Answer 1

Answer:

let

the cost price of dining table = a

we know he charges his customers 12% more than the cost

then the cost of the dining table is, a × (12/100) + a = 14.056

                                                       or,   112a=1405.6

                                                       or,    a = 1405.6/112

                                                         ∴  a = 12.55

price of dining table was 12.55
