An almirah was bought for Rs.14360 and Rs.240 was spent on its transportation. At what price should it be sold to gain of 15%?

@ Pramite your way of doing is correct but in last addition should be Rs 16790 instead of Rs 16590.

Do get back to us in case of any further concerns.

cost prise of almirah=rs.14360
transportation price of almirah=rs.240
total cost price of almirah=rs.14360+rs.240
                                          =rs.14600
profit percentage=15%
15% of 14600=15/100 x 14600
                      =15 x 146
                       =2190
to get gain you must add the 15% of the total cost price to the total cost price again,

cost price=rs.14600
profit price=rs.2190
selling price with profit=rs.14600+rs.2190
                                       =rs.16590


ans=rs.16590
