  1. A merchant fixed the selling price of his articles at $ 700 after adding 40% profit to the cost price. As the sale was very low at this price level, he decided to fix the selling price at 10% profit. Find the new selling price.
    1. $ 500
    2. $ 550
    3. $ 450
    4. $ 490

On 40% profit ,

C.P. of the article =
700 × 100
= $ 500
140

500 × 110
= $ 550
100
