    Question

    A shopkeeper bought an article for Rs. 520. At what price (in Rs. ) should he sell the article to make 30% profit?

    A.

    364

    B.

    688

    C.

    676

    D.

    664

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 520
    Required Profit = 30%
    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+30100)=520×(130100)=520×130100=676\text{SP} = 520 \times \left(1 + \frac{30}{100} \right) \\= 520 \times \left( \frac{130}{100} \right) \\= \frac{520 \times 130}{100} \\= 676​​
