Question

Ritu sold a camera for Rs.24000, earning a profit of 20%. If she wanted to earn a profit of 25%, at what price should she have sold the camera?

A.

Rs. 27000

B.

Rs. 22000

C.

Rs. 24000

D.

Rs. 25000

Correct option is D

Given:
Selling price with 20% profit = 324000
Desired profit = 25%
Formula Used:
​​Cost Price (CP)=Selling Price1+Profit Percentage100Desired Selling Price=CP×(1+Desired Profit100)\text{Cost Price (CP)} = \frac{\text{Selling Price}}{1 + \frac{\text{Profit Percentage}}{100}}\\\text{Desired Selling Price} = \text{CP} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Desired Profit}}{100}\right)​​
Solution:

CP = 24000 / 1.2 = 200000
Selling Price = 20000 ×\times​ 1.25 = 25000
Thus, to earn a profit of 25%, Ritu should have sold the camera for Rs. 25000
