1. Noman sells pens for Tk.65.00 each. This price gives him a profit of 30 percent on the costs. What will be the new retail price of each pen if he cuts his profit to 10 percent of costs?
- A. Tk.52.00
- B. Tk.52.00
- C. Tk.52.00
- D. Tk.52.00
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the cost price be A.
Then, A + 30% of A = 65
or, A + 0.3A = 65
or, 1.3A = 65
or, A = 65 / 1.3 = 50 TK.
New retail price at 10% profit = 50 + 10% of 50 = 50 + 5 = 55 TK
