Question

Anurag sold a refrigerator for Rs. 28000, at a loss of 30%. If he wanted to earn a profit of 25%, at what price should he have sold the refrigerator?

A.

Rs. 52,700

B.

Rs. 52,000

C.

Rs. 50,000

D.

Rs. 51,500

Correct option is C

Given:
Selling price = Rs. 28,000
Loss = 30%

Desired profit = 25%
Formula Used:
SP = (100 ± Profit/Loss %) / 100 × CP
Solution:
 Cost Price (CP) = 28000 / 0.7 = Rs. 40,000
New selling price for 25% profit = 40,000 × 1.25 = Rs. 50,000
