If 5500 copies are published and the transportation cost on them amounts to Rs. 82500, then what should be the selling price of the book so that the publisher can earn a profit of 25%?

[A].	Rs. 187.50
[B].	Rs. 191.50
[C].	Rs. 175
[D].	Rs. 180

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

For the publisher to earn a profit of 25%, S.P. = 125% of C.P.

Also Transportation Cost = 10% of C.P.

Let the S.P. of 5500 books be Rs. x.

Then, 10 : 125 = 82500 : x x = Rs.		125 x 82500		= Rs. 1031250.
		10

S.P. of one book = Rs.		1031250		= Rs. 187.50 .
		5500
