Question

The owner of a toy shop charges his customer $33$% more then the cost price. If the customer paid Rs. $4921$ for a toy, then what was the cost price of the toy?

• A. Rs. $3850$
• B. Rs. $3700$
• C. Rs. $3550$
• D. Rs. $3900$

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. $3700$

Let cost price of the toy $=x$

Owner will change $=x+\frac{33}{100}\times x$

$=494$

$4921=\frac{133}{100}x$

$x=\frac{4921\times 100}{133}$

$x=3700Rs$
