The cost price of 44 items is the same as the selling price of x items. If the profit is 10%, then what is the value of x?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
If the total profit = 10%
then total selling price % is
(100% + 10%) = 110
Now 110 % of x = 44
100% of x = 44 × \(\frac{100}{110}\)
= 40
