  1. A trader buys some goods for ₹ 150. If the overhead expenses be 12% of the cost price, at what price should it be sold to earn 10% ?
    1. ₹ 184.80
    2. ₹ 185.80
    3. ₹ 187.8
    4. ₹ 188.80
Correct Option: A

Total CP = (CP + Overhead expenses)
= 150 + 12% of 150
= 150 + (12/100) x 150 = ₹ 168

Given that, gain = 10%
∴ SP = (110/100) x 168 = ₹ 184.80
