Question

A shopkeeper gets 30% profit on selling a box of oranges. Find the selling price of the box of oranges if they were bought for ₹ 700.

• A. ₹ 850
• B. ₹ 950
• C. ₹ 910
• D. ₹ 810

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹ 910

Given that
Cost price of a box of oranges = ₹700
Profit percent = 30%

Now
Profit = 30% of 700
= $\frac{30}{100}$ $\times 700$
= ₹ 210

Therefore,
Selling Price = Cost price + Profit
Selling Price = 700 + 210
Selling Price = ₹ 910
