Here's how to calculate the selling price:

  1. Calculate the total cost price

    Cost of tape recorder = ₹4000
    Repairing cost = ₹1600
    Total Cost Price (CP) = ₹4000 + ₹1600 = ₹5600

  2. Calculate the desired profit amount

    Profit percentage = 6%
    Profit amount = 6% of ₹5600
    Profit amount = (6/100) * 5600 = ₹336

  3. Calculate the selling price

    Selling Price (SP) = Total Cost Price + Profit amount
    Selling Price = ₹5600 + ₹336 = ₹5936

    The selling price should be ₹5936.
