Question
A shopkeeper marks up an item by 25%. If he
increases the discount from 9% to 13%, the profit will decrease by Rs. 50. Find the selling price of the item in order to earn a profit of 35%.Solution
Let, cost price of item be Rs. x.
So, mark price = Rs. 1.25x
According to question,
1.25x [0.91 – 0.87] = 50
1.25x = 1250
x = 1000
Therefore, required selling price = 1000 × 1.35 = Rs. 1350
