Question

A trader bought an electric kettle for ₹ 800. If he gets 10% profit on selling it, then the selling price of the electric kettle is

• A. ₹ 890
• B. ₹ 900
• C. ₹ 880

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹ 880

Here, the electric kettle is bought for ₹ 800.
And the profit obtained is 10 %

i.e. $800\times \frac{10}{100}=₹80$

Now, to find the selling price, the profit needs to be added to the cost price.

Hence,
Selling price = Cost price + Profit
Selling price = ₹ 800 + ₹ 80
​​​​​Selling price = ₹ 880
