Answer 2

Selling price is Rs. 324

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of the article be Rs. x

Then at a loss of 3%, its selling price is

= Rs. x (1 - 3/100)

= Rs. 97x/100

By the given condition,

97x/100 = 291

or, x = 300

So the cost price of the article was Rs. 300

For a profit of 8%, the selling price must be

= Rs. 300 * (1 + 8/100)

= Rs. 300 * 108/100

= Rs. 324
