The correct Answer is:
To find the selling price (SP) given the cost price (C.P.), overheads, and loss percentage, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Net Cost Price First, we need to find the net cost price by adding the overheads to the cost price. \[ \text{Net C.P.} = \text{C.P.} + \text{Overheads} \] Given: - C.P. = 576 - Overheads = 44 \[ \text{Net C.P.} = 576 + 44 = 620 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Selling Price using the Loss Percentage Next, we need to calculate the selling price using the formula that accounts for the loss percentage. The formula for selling price when there is a loss is: \[ \text{SP} = \left( \frac{100 - \text{Loss \%}}{100} \right) \times \text{Net C.P.} \] Given: - Loss % = 16% Substituting the values into the formula: \[ \text{SP} = \left( \frac{100 - 16}{100} \right) \times 620 \] \[ \text{SP} = \left( \frac{84}{100} \right) \times 620 \] \[ \text{SP} = 0.84 \times 620 \] \[ \text{SP} = 520.80 \] ### Final Answer The selling price (SP) is Rs 520.80. ---
