The selling price of a fan is ₹7,392. If profit percentage is 32%, then what is the cost price (in ₹) of the fan?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 5,600.

 

SP = CP × (1 + Profit/100)

So:

7392 = CP × (1 + 32/100)

7392 = CP × 1.32

CP = 7392 ÷ 1.32 = ₹5,600
