Correct Answer: Rs. 724.50


Solution : Given:
The cost price of a radio is Rs. 600.
5% of the cost price is charged for transport.
So, charge on the cost price = $\frac{5}{100}$ × 600 = 30
∴ Total cost price = 600 + 30 = Rs. 630
To gain 15%, the selling price should be:
= 630 + ($\frac{15}{100}$ × 630)
= Rs. 724.50
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 724.50.
