The cost price of a cooler is Rs 6400. If the profit percentage is 24 percent, then what is the selling price of the cooler?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Rs. 7936.

Given that, CP = Rs 6400

Profit percentage = 24%

SP = CP ×100+P100\times {100 + P \over 100}

According to the given question,

 SP = 6400 ×100+24100\times {100 + 24 \over 100}

⇒ 64 × 124 = 7936

Hence the selling price of the cooler is Rs 7936.
