Question

A shopkeeper sells a badminton marked at Rs $30$ at $15\%$ discount and gives a shuttle cock costing Rs $1.50$ free with each badminton. He then makes a profit of $20\%$. His cost price per badminton is

• A. $Rs35$
• B. $Rs30$
• C. $Rs25$
• D. $Rs20$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$Rs20$

S.P. of each badminton
$=$ 85% of Rs 30 -Rs 1.50
$=25.50-1.50=Rs24$.
$\therefore$ 120% c.a = Rs 24
$\Rightarrow C.P.=Rs24\times \frac{100}{120}=Rs20$
