Manny bought an AC for ₹ 12000 and paid ₹ 400 for transportation. Then he sold it for ₹14000. Find his profit%.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 12.90%.

Given that

The cost price of an A.C = ₹ 12000

The transportation cost of A.C. =  ₹ 400

The selling price of A.C. = ₹14000

Net cost price = 12000 + 400 = ₹12400

Profit = 14000 - 12400 = ₹1600

Formula used

Profit % = (Profit/Cost price) × 100

Hence,

Profit % = (1600/12400) × 100 = 12.90 %
