By selling an article for N45.00 a man makes a profit of 8%. For how much should he have sold it in order to make a profit of 32%?

  • A.
    N180.00
  • B.
    N59.00
  • C.
    N63.00
  • D.
    N58.00
  • E.
    N55.00
Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation

When C.P = N45.00 at 8% profit
C.P = (frac{100}{108}) x 45
at profit of 32%, S.P = (frac{132}{100}) x c.p
= (frac{132}{100}) x (frac{100 times 45}{108})
= (frac{5940}{108})
= N55.00
