1. An item is sold for $65.00, giving the retailer a profit of 30% of the cost. What will be the new retail price if the retailer cuts his profit to 10% of costs?

  • A. $55
  • B. $55
  • C. $55
  • D. $55

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

when sp 130 then cp 100

when sp 1 then cp. 100/130

When Sp 65 then cp 100*65/130

So Cp = 50

Therefore the new retail price = 50 + 50*10% = $55

ans:$55
