    Question

    Anaya purchased a dress for Rs. 3000 and paid extra for

    tailoring. She marked it up by 25%, gave a Rs. 360 discount, and earned a 15% profit. Find the tailoring cost.
    A Rs 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 480 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 540 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let tailoring cost = Rs. x
    Effective cost = 3000 + x
    Marked Price = 1.25(3000 + x)
    Selling Price = Marked – 360 = 1.15(3000 + x)
    1.25(3000 + x) – 1.15(3000 + x) = 360
    0.10(3000 + x) = 360
    3000 + x = 3600
    x = Rs. 600
