Answer:
Let C.P of watch be Y
S.P of which be Y
Loss %=(C.P−S.P)/C.P×100
10=(x−y)/x×100
x=10x−10y
x=
9
10
×y
If he sold it for 54 more, he would made 8% profit
Profit %=(S.P−C.P)/C.P×100
8=(y+54−x)/x×100
8x=100y+5400−100x
108x−100y=5400
Plugging the value of x in above equation
108×10/9×y−100y=5400
120y−100y=5400
20=5400
y=270
