    Question

    A shopkeeper bought an article for Rs. 520. At what price (in Rs.) should he sell the article to make 20% profit?

    A.

    612

    B.

    636

    C.

    624

    D.

    416

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 520
    Required Profit = 20%
    Formula Used:
    Selling Price (SP)=Cost Price (CP)×(1+Profit%100)\text{Selling Price (SP)} = \text{Cost Price (CP)} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Profit\%}}{100} \right)​​
    Solution:
    SP=520×(1+20100)=520×(120100)=520×120100=624\text{SP} = 520 \times \left(1 + \frac{20}{100} \right) \\= 520 \times \left( \frac{120}{100} \right) \\= \frac{520 \times 120}{100} \\= 624​​
