    He spent Rs. 300 on their transportation. He also paid 10 paise per roll for packing of each roll. At what price must he sell each roll to gain 30% overall?
    A Rs. 32.63 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 33.75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 32.75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 37.75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Effective cost price of 100 rolls of paper = (100 × 22) + 300 + (100 × 0.1) = 2200 + 300 + 10 = Rs. 2510 Selling price at 30% profit = 1.30 × 2510 = Rs. 3263 Therefore, selling price of each roll of paper = 3263/100 = Rs. 32.63
