    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the cost price be Rs. 100x

    Selling price = 100x Γ— 1.14 = Rs. 114x

    ATQ,

    (960 - 114x) = (960 - 100x) Γ— 0.33

    β‡’ 960 - 114x = 316.8 - 33x

    β‡’ 960 - 316.8 = 114x - 33x

    β‡’ 643.2 = 81x

    β‡’ x = 7.94

    Cost price = 100 Γ— 7.94 = Rs. 794
