Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

Step 1: First, we need to find the original price before the discount. If Rs. 860 is 86% (100% - 14%) of the original price, we can find the original price (let's call it X) by using the formula:

860 = 0.86 * X

Solving for X gives us X = 860 / 0.86 = Rs. 1000. This is the original price of the garments.

Step 2: Now, Mr. Swami wants to earn a profit of 6% on the original price. So, his selling price will be 106% of the original price. We can find this by using the formula:

Selling Price = 1.06 * X = 1.06 * 1000 = Rs. 1060

So, the approximate total selling price is Rs. 1060.
