    Question

    By selling goods at Rs.540, a trader incurred 10% loss. If he wants to minimize the loss to 5%, what should be his selling price?

    A.

    Rs.570

    B.

    Rs.600

    C.

    Rs.1080

    D.

    RS.55O

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Selling price(SP)= Rs. 540
    Formula used:
    AT loss%
    Cost price (CP) = SP x (100/(100- loss%))
    Selling price = CP (100- Loss%)/100
    Calculation:
    SP of the goods = Rs. 540
    => CP of the goods = 540 x 100/90 = Rs. 600
    New SP of the goods at 5 % loss
    Rs. 600 x 95/100
    => Rs. 570
    selling price is Rs. 570.
