    Question

    A retailer buys an electronic item for Rs. 175. His overhead expenses are Rs. 25. He sells the electronic item for Rs. 320 and makes x%' profit. The value of x is:

    A.

    80

    B.

    40

    C.

    50

    D.

    60

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Cost price (CP) of the electronic item = Rs. 175
    Overhead expenses = Rs. 25
    Selling price (SP) = Rs. 320

    Formula Used:

    Profit = SP - (CP + Overhead Expenses)
    Profit Percentage = (ProfitTotal Cost Price)×100(\frac{Profit }{Total \ Cost \ Price}) × 100​​

    Solution:

    Total Cost Price = 175 + 25 = 200
    Profit = 320 - 200 = 120
    Now, calculate the profit percentage (x):
    x=(ProfitTotal Cost Price)×100 x=(120200)×100=60%x = (\frac{Profit }{ Total \ Cost \ Price}) × 100 \\\ \\x = (\frac{120 }{ 200}) × 100 = 60 \%​​
    Thus, the value of x is 60%.
