SSC GD Constable (English) - 22nd November 2021 Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q62

A retailer gains 18% after allowing 12% discount on the cost price. If the cost price is Rs. 16500, then what is the selling price?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rs.17133.60.

ATQ,

Cost price = 16500

Discount = 12%

Profit on CP = 18%

So, the SP after 12% discount and 18% profit on the cost price = 16500 × (88/100) × (118/100) = Rs 17133.60
