By selling a CPU for Rs.8395, a man makes a profit of 15%. At what price should he sell it to make a profit of 25%?

Correct option is D

Ans. (d)
Sol. Let the cost price (C.P.) be x.
· Selling price (S.P.) = 8395
· Profit = 15%, so: 8395 = x + (15/100) * x 8395 = 1.15 * x Solving for x, we get: x = 8395 / 1.15 = 730
Now, to make a 25% profit, the selling price should be: S.P. = 7300 + (25/100) * 7300 = 7300 + 1825 = 9125
