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
