    A shopkeeper purchased 150 calculators at the rate of Rs 250 each. An expense of Rs 2500 on transportation and packaging also occurred. If he marks each calculator at Rs 320 and allows a discount of 5% then what is his gain percent?

    A) 20%                             

    B) 14%

    C) 15%                             

    D) 16%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    CP of 150 calculators = \[Rs\,250\times 150=Rs\,37500\] Transportation and packaging charge = Rs 2500 Net CP = Rs 37500 + 2500 = Rs 40000 SP of 1 calculator = 95% of 320 = Rs 304 SP of 150 calculators = \[304\times 150\] = Rs 45600 % Gain =\[\frac{45600-40000}{40000}\times 100\] =         \[\frac{5600\times 100}{40000}=\] 14%
