Well if the book is worth 400 and he offered a discount of 10% then didn't he sell it for 360 regardless of how much profit he earned...?

shaik0124 · Answer

if he gives 10% discount then selling price will be 360 right?

shaik0124 · Answer

book worth is not 400. the marked price on the book is 400
