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

    increases the discount from 6% to 8%, the profit will decrease by Rs. 23. Find the selling price of the item in order to earn a profit of 22%.
    A Rs. 2214 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.1122.40 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 [0.94 – 0.92] = 23
    1.25x = 1150
    x = 920
    Therefore, required selling price = 920 × 1.22 = Rs. 1122.40
