    A trader buys 75 shirts and recovers the cost price

    after selling 50 of them. He sells the remaining 25 shirts at a profit of 40% and earns Rs. 600 as profit on them. What is the total selling price of the 75 shirts?
    A Rs.4450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.6600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.4080 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.7740 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price per shirt be Rs. x.
    Total CP = 75x.
    SP of 50 shirts = 75x.
    Profit on remaining 25 shirts = 40%.
    So, 25x ├Ч 0.4 = 600
    10x = 600 тЗТ x = Rs. 60
    Total SP = 75x + 1.4 ├Ч 25x
    = 75 ├Ч 60 + 1.4 ├Ч 25 ├Ч 60
    = 4,500 + 2,100 = Rs. 6,600
