Ashok sold an article, whose cost price is Rs. 300, for Rs. 351 including sales tax @8%. Find his profit percentage.A. `13(1)/(3)%`B. `8(1)/(3)%`C. `16(2)/(3)%`D. `10(2)/(3)%`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Let the list price be Rs.x.
Sales tax (in Rs.) `=(8)/(100)x=(2)/(25)x`.
Selling price including sales tax (in Rs.)
`=(27)/(25)x`.
`(27)/(25)x=351`
`(x)/(25)=13`
x=325
Profit percentage `=(325-300)/(300)(100)%=8(1)/(3)%`.
