      Question

      An item's label price is 40% more than its original

      price. The shopkeeper manages to earn 30% profit on it. If the label price exceeds the sale price by Rs. 210, what is the cost price?
      A 3100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 4500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the cost price be Rs. 10x

      So, marked (label) price = 10x × (1 + 40/100) = Rs. 14x

      Selling price = 10x × 1.3 = Rs. 13x

      ATQ,

      14x - 13x = 210

      ⇒ x = 210

      So, cost price = Rs. 10 × 210 = Rs. 2100
