let selling price be x
.9x = 1.3(97)
x = 126.1/.9 = 140.11
check
marked selling price = 140.11
actual selling price = .9(140.11) = 126.10
profit = 126.10-97 = 29.10
percentage of profit based on cost price
= 29.10/97 = .29998969
= 30%
.9x = 1.3(97)
x = 126.1/.9 = 140.11
check
marked selling price = 140.11
actual selling price = .9(140.11) = 126.10
profit = 126.10-97 = 29.10
percentage of profit based on cost price
= 29.10/97 = .29998969
= 30%

A 10% discount means to take away 10% , leaving 90% or .9
a 30 % profit is 100% + 30% = 130% = 1.3
a 30 % profit is 100% + 30% = 130% = 1.3
