  1. Charging 30 % above its production cost a radio maker puts a label of ₹ 286 on a radio as its price. But at the time of selling it, he allows 10 % discount on the labelled price. What will his gain be ?
    1. ₹ 257 .40
    2. ₹ 254. 40
    3. ₹ 198
    4. ₹ 37. 40
Correct Option: D

Let Production cost of radio= ₹ p

∴ 
p × 130
= 286
100

⇒  p =
286 × 100
= ₹ 220
130

∴  Selling price = 90% of 286
∴  Selling price =
286 × 90
= ₹ 257.40
100

Required Profit = ₹ (257.40 – 220) = ₹ 37.40
