Explanation

Let MP = x. After 23% discount, selling price = 0.77x. Profit is 56 rupees, so cost price = 0.77x - 56. Given profit is 10%, so 56 = 0.10 × CP, therefore CP = 560. Now: 560 = 0.77x - 56, so 0.77x = 616, and x = 616/0.77 = 800. Verification: 23% of 800 = 184, SP = 800-184 = 616, CP = 560, Profit = 56 which is 10% of 560.
