Let \(n\) be the number of units of the product sold last month.

Then \((n+165)(12)(\frac{1-20}{100}) – n*12 = 420.\)

Simplifying yields \((n+165)(12)(0.8) – 12n = 165*12*(0.8) – 12n*(0.2) = 420.\) So, \(12n*(0.2) = 165*12*(0.8) – 420\)

We solve this equation to find \(n = 485.\)

Therefore, the answer is C.
Answer: C
