Question
A shopkeeper marks up an item by 25%. If he
increases the discount from 10% to 20%, the profit will decrease by Rs. 30. Find the selling price of the item in order to earn a profit of 23%.Solution
Let, cost price of item be Rs. x.
So, mark price = Rs. 1.25x
According to question,
1.25x [0.90 – 0.80] = 30
1.25x = 300
x = 240
Therefore, required selling price = 240 × 1.23 = Rs. 295.20
