Official Solution:

A car-shop sells a car for $4800. This price includes a 20% markup. What would be the price of the car with a 10% markup? A.$4100
B. $4300 C.$4400
D. $4600 E.$4700

Let $$X$$ be the price of the car without a markup. Then $$1.2X = 4800$$ from where $$X = 4000$$. 10% of $$X$$ is 400; the price of the car with a 10% markup would be \$4400.

+1 for C. We are told that 1.2x is 4800 (where x is the original price). We need to find 1.1x. Do the math, answer comes to 4400 , i.e. option C.
