Question

Naresh purchased a TV set for Rs. $11250$ after getting discount of $10\%$ on the labelled price. He spent Rs. $150$ on Transport and Rs. $800$ on installation. At what price should it be sold so that the profit earned would have been $15\%$, if no discount was offered ?

• A. Rs. $12937.50$
• B. Rs. $14030$
• C. Rs. $13450$
• D. Rs. $15467.50$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs. $15467.50$

Let original price was $X$.
$\Rightarrow X-10\%$ of $X=11250$
$\Rightarrow X-\frac{X}{10}=11250$
$\Rightarrow \frac{9X}{10}=11250$
$\Rightarrow 9X=112500$
$\Rightarrow X=12500$
Total expenses, $=12500+150+800=13450$
Selling Price with $15\%$ profit $=13450+15\%$ of $13450$

$13450+\frac{15}{100}\times 13450=$ Rs. $15467.5$
