    B 377 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 262 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 272 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the amount he spends on transportation = x So total CP =700+x Profit = 30% and SP =1400 Total CP =(SP×100)/100+30 700+x = (1400×100)/130 700+x =1077 x =1077-700=377. =377.
