      Question

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

      increases the discount from 7% to 9%, the profit will decrease by Rs. 45. Find the selling price of the item in order to earn a profit of 23%.
      A Rs. 2214 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.4900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 3170 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 2610 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 1350 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 – 0.91] = 45
      1.25x = 2250
      x = 1800
      Therefore, required selling price = 1800 × 1.23 = Rs. 2214
