    Question

    Saritha purchased a pre-owned sewing machine for Rs. 34,999 and spent Rs. 4,000 on repairs and Rs. 1,000 on transport. She sold it with 15% profit. At what price did she sell the machine?

    A.

    Rs. 59,845.85

    B.

    Rs. 40,000.85

    C.

    Rs. 42,999.85

    D.

    Rs. 45,998.85

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Cost price of sewing machine = Rs. 34,999

    Repair cost = Rs. 4,000

    Transport cost = Rs. 1,000

    Profit = 15%

    Formula Used:

    Selling Price = Total Cost Price × (1 + Profit%)

    Solution:

    Profit% = 15% = 15100\frac{15}{100}​ = 0.15

    Total Cost Price = 34,999 + 4,000 + 1,000 = Rs. 39,999

    Selling Price = 39,999 × (1 + 0.15) = 39,999 × 1.15 = Rs. 45,998.85

    Thus, She sold the machine for Rs. 45,998.85
