A commodity is first priced at a 20% profit margin, and then sold at a 10% discount. As a result, the profit is 256 yuan. What is the cost of this commodity? If the perimeter of a rectangle is 28 cm, if the length increases by 10%, the width decreases by 25%, and the perimeter remains unchanged, the area of the original rectangle can be calculated

Let cost be X
(x+20%x)*0.9-x=256
1.2x*0.9-x=256
1.08x-x=256
0.08x=256
x=3200
Length + width = 28 △ 2 = 14
Let the length be x and the width be 14-x
(x+10%x)+[(14-x)-(14-x)*25%]=14
x+0.1x+14-x-3.5+0.25x=14
0.35x=3.5
x=10
Width = 14-10 = 4
Area = 10 * 4 = 40 square centimeter
