A. $220.00
B. $179.82
C. $113.22
D. $246.42

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is : $220

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, cost price = $66

Let the selling price be $x.

According to the statement given in problem,

Selling price - cost price = 70% of selling price

i.e.  x  - 66 = 70% * x

x - 70x/100 = 66

30x / 100 = 66

x = 6600 / 30 = $220

i.e Selling price = $220
