Question

A retailer buys 12 pairs of shoes for ₹22,400. His overhead expenses are ₹1,600. If he earns ₹28,500 from the sale of these 12 pair of shoes, determine his profit percentage.

A.

20%

B.

17.5%

C.

19.25%

D.

18.75%

Correct option is D

Given:

- Cost price of 12 pairs of shoes = ₹22,400

- Overhead expenses = ₹1,600

- Selling price of 12 pairs = ₹28,500

Formula Used:

- Total Cost Price (CP) = Cost Price + Overheads

- Profit = Selling Price (SP) − Cost Price (CP)

- Profit % = (ProfitCP)(\frac{Profit }{ CP})​ × 100

Solution:

Total CP = ₹22,400 + ₹1,600 = ₹24,000

SP = ₹28,500

Profit = SP − CP = ₹28,500 − ₹24,000 = ₹4,500

Profit % = (450024000\frac{4500 }{24000}​) × 100 = 18.75%

Final Answer: 18.75%
