      Question

      A shopkeeper marks up an item by 25%. If he

      increases the discount from 12% to 14%, the profit will decrease by Rs. 70. Find the selling price of the item in order to earn a profit of 40%.
      A Rs. 3920 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 2950.20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 3172 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 3170 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let, cost price of item be Rs. x.
      So, mark price = Rs. 1.25x
      According to question,
      1.25x [0.88 – 0.86] = 70
      1.25x = 3500
      x = 2800
      Therefore, required selling price = 2800 × 1.40 = Rs. 3920
