SSC CGL - 18 July 2023 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q56

A shopkeeper purchases six small cold drink bottles for ₹100. For how much should he sell one such bottle to get a profit of 20%?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. ₹20.

Given that

Cost price of six bottles =  ₹100.

Profit = 20%

Selling price = Cost price × (100 + profit %)/100

The selling price of the cold drinks = 100 × 120/100 = Rs 120

The selling price of each bottle = 120/6 = Rs 20.
