A Quantitative problem for GRE / GMAT

Here's a GRE / GMAT type quantitative problem:

A man sees the price tag of Rs. 15 per raw mango in a grocery shop. He wonders the profit on each mango must be 30%. Assuming his assessment is true, what is the cost price of a raw mango?

A. 10.60
B. 11.53
C. 12.21
D. 11.10

Answer: B

This is a straightforward problem. Here are three of the ways to find the answer to the question:

Solution I:

Let

S = Sale price
C = Cost price
P = Profit

So, percent profit is

(S-C)/C = P

(15-C)/C = 30/100

15-C = 30/100*C

C = 11.53

Solution II

Working from the answers:

Add 30% to, for example, answer choice B = 11.53 + (30/100) * 11.53 = 14.989.

The above value is closest to the sale price, which is 15.

Solution III

Profit (P) is 30%, so sale price (S) is 130% of the cost price (C):

S = 130/100*C

15 = 130/100*C

C = 11.53
