Question

A retailer buys an electronic item for ₹175. His overhead expenses are ₹5. He sells the electronic item for ₹360 and makes x%' profit. The value of x is:

A.

80

B.

90

C.

100

D.

120

Correct option is C

Given:

Cost Price (C.P.) = ₹175

Overhead expenses = ₹5

Selling Price (S.P.) = ₹360

Formula Used:

Profit Percentage = (ProfitTotal Cost Price)×100\left( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Total Cost Price}} \right) \times 100​​

Solution:

Total Cost Price=C.P.+ Overhead expenses = 175 + 5 = 180

Profit = S.P.−Total Cost Price = 360 - 180 = 180

Profit Percentage = (180180)×100=100%\left( \frac{180}{180} \right) \times 100 = 100\%
