    Question

    A man purchased 100 rolls of paper for Rs. 34 per roll.

    He spent Rs. 650 on their transportation. He also paid 50 paise per roll for packing of each roll. At what price must he sell each roll to gain 20% overall?
    A Rs. 47.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 49.20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 48.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 58.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Effective cost price of 100 rolls of paper = (100 × 34) + 650 + (100 × 0.50) = 3400 + 650 + 50 = Rs. 4100 Selling price at 20% profit = 1.20 × 4100 = Rs. 4920 Therefore, selling price of each roll of paper = 4920/100 = Rs. 49.20
