By selling an article for N45.00 a man makes a profit of 8%. For how much should he have sold it in order to make a profit of 32%?

A.

N180.00

B.

N59.00

C.

N63.00

D.

N58.00

E.

N55.00

Correct answer is E

When C.P = N45.00 at 8% profit

C.P = \(\frac{100}{108}\) x 45

at profit of 32%, S.P = \(\frac{132}{100}\) x c.p

= \(\frac{132}{100}\) x \(\frac{100 \times 45}{108}\)

= \(\frac{5940}{108}\)

= N55.00
