Given, Selling price is more than cost price by 17% Difference between selling price and cost price = Rs. 289 Formula: SP = CP × (100 + Profit%) / 100 Calculation: Let cost price of the article be 100x Selling price of the article = 100x × (117 / 100) = 117x According to the question 117x - 100x = 289 ⇒ 17x = 289 ⇒ x = 289 / 17 ⇒ x = 17 ∴ Selling price of the article = 117 × 17 = Rs. 1989
