Question

Riya sold a laptop for ₹35000, earning a profit of 25%. If she wanted to earn a profit of 30%, at what price should she have sold the laptop?

A.

Rs. 37200

B.

Rs. 34600

C.

Rs. 36400

D.

Rs. 38400

Correct option is C

Given:
Selling Price (SP1) = ₹35000
Profit Percentage = 25%
Desired Profit Percentage = 30%
Formula Used:
Cost Price (CP) = Selling Price / (1 + Profit Percentage)
Desired Selling Price (SP2) = Cost Price × (1 + Desired Profit Percentage)
Solution:
Cost Price (CP) = 35000 / (1 + 0.25) = ₹28000
To earn a 30% profit, Desired Selling Price (SP2) = 28000 × (1 + 0.30) = ₹36400
