John purchased a machine for Rs. 80,000. After spending Rs.5000 on repair and Rs.1000 on transport he sold it with 25% profit. What price did he sell the machine?

Rs.107000.
Rs.107500.
Rs.108500.
None of these
Explanation:

CP = 80,000 + 5000 + 1000 = 86000

Profit = 25%

SP = $\dfrac{\left(100 + Gain\%\right)}{100} \times CP$ = $\dfrac{\left(100 + 25\right)}{100} \times 86000$

= $\dfrac{125}{100} \times 86000 $=$ \dfrac{5}{4} \times 86000$ = $5 \times 21500 $= 107500
