  1. An item costing $ 840 was sold by a shopkeeper at a gain of 10% and it was again sold by the new buyer at a loss of 5%. Final selling price of the item is :
    1. $ 877.80
    2. $ 798
    3. $ 924
    4. $ 37.80
Correct Option: A

As per the given question ,
C.P. of first buyer = $ (840 + 10% of 840) = $ (840 + 84) = $ 924
Now, this item is sold to the second buyer at 5% loss.

∴ Final selling price = $95 × 924= $ 877.80
