      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 × 0.4 = 600
      10x = 600 ⇒ x = Rs. 60
      Total SP = 75x + 1.4 × 25x
      = 75 × 60 + 1.4 × 25 × 60
      = 4,500 + 2,100 = Rs. 6,600
