Question : 37

Total: 40

Solution:

Concept:

When profit percentage is given, selling price equals cost price plus the profit on that cost price.

Explanation:

Let the cost price be

x

Profit is 10% of the cost price, so profit

= 0.10x

Selling price is given as

\text{GH₵}\,44.00

We know:

\text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price} + \text{Profit}

44 = x + 0.10x

44 = 1.10x

Now solve for

x

x = \frac{44}{1.10} = 40

So the cost price is

\text{GH₵}\,40.00

Answer:

Cost price is

\text{GH₵}\,40.00

, which is option D.
