Question

A man buys an item for Rs. 1200 and sells it at a gain of 15%. The selling price of the item is:

• A. Rs. 1370
• B. Rs. 1270
• C. Rs. 1350
• D. Rs. 1380

Hint:

To easily calculate percentages mentally, break down the percentage: \(15\%\) of \(1200\) can be viewed as \(10\% + 5\%\). \(10\%\) of \(1200 = 120\). \(5\%\) is half of that, which equals \(60\). Adding them together: \(120 + 60 = 180\). Finally, \(1200 + 180 = 1380\).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D
