Answer 1

Given:

C.P = Rs. 5400

C.P = Cost Price

Calculation:

According to the question,

(5400 × \(\dfrac{2}{3}\) × 8%) + (1800 × x%) = (5400 × 18%)

⇒ (3600 × 8%) + (1800 × x%) = (5400 × 18%)

⇒ 288 + 18x = 54 × 18

⇒ 288 + 18x = 972

⇒ 18x = 972 - 288

⇒ x = 684/18

⇒ x = 38

∴ The correct answer is 38%.
