Detailed Solution

Given,
Marked price (MP) of the shirt =Rs.1120.
Discount% = 10%.
Discount percent is,
Discount %=  Discount  MP (100) 10=  Discount  1120 (100) Discount =112  
Selling price (SP) is,
SP=MPDiscount  1120112 1008  
Cost price (CP) is,
CP= 100SP 100+ profit % 100(1008) 100+26 800  
Thus, the cost price of the pair of shoes will be Rs.800.
