Question:

Options:

₹385.45

₹370.15

₹390.80

₹336.50

Correct Answer:

₹370.15

Explanation:

We have,

Kapila bought 100 frocks at the rate of 320 each.

Then, the total price of all frocks = 320 × 100 = 32000.

Travel expenditure = 1000

Labour expenditure = 500

Total price for all expenditure = 32000 + 1000 + 500 = 33500

New price of each frock = 33500/100 = 335 + 1.50 = 336.5

Note that profit must be 10%.

So, the new cost of a frock will be.

= 336.5 × 110/100 = 370.15
