Question

A retailer purchased a batch of goods for Rs. 5,000. Due to a manufacturing defect, 5% of the goods were damaged. If the retailer wants to make a profit of 20% on the remaining goods, at what price should the undamaged goods be sold?

A.

Rs. 5,700

B.

Rs. 5,800

C.

Rs. 6,000

D.

Rs. 5,900

Correct option is A

Given:
Cost Price (CP) = ₹5,000
Damaged goods = 5%
Profit = 20%
Formula used:
Selling Price (SP) = Cost Price of undamaged goods + Desired Profit
Solution:
Damaged goods = 5% of 5000 = 0.05×\times​ 5000 = 250
Undamaged goods cost = 5000 – 250 =₹4750
Desired profit = 20% of undamaged goods cost = 0.20 x 4750 = ₹950
Selling Price (SP) = Cost Price of undamaged goods + Desired Profit
= 4750 + 950 = ₹5700
