A trader buys some goods for ₹ 150. If the overhead expenses be 12% of the cost price, at what price should it be sold to earn 10%?

Correct Answer: ₹ 184.80

Explanation:

Total CP = (CP + Overhead expenses)
= 150 + 12% of 150
= 150 + (12/100) x 150 = ₹ 168
Given that, gain = 10%
∴ SP = (110/100) x 168 = ₹ 184.80
