      Question

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

      increases the discount from 7% to 15%, the profit will decrease by Rs. 35. Find the selling price of the item in order to earn a profit of 40%.
      A Rs. 440 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.490 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 317 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 208 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let, cost price of item be Rs. x.
      So, mark price = Rs. 1.25x
      According to question,
      1.25x [0.93 – 0.85] = 35
      1.25x = 437.5
      x = 350
      Therefore, required selling price = 350 × 1.40 = Rs. 490
