    Question

    An item is initially priced 36% higher than its cost

    price. After applying a 25% discount, it sells for a profit of Rs. 30. If, instead, the item is marked up by 20% from its cost price and then sold with an Rs. 80 discount, what would be the new selling price?
    A Rs. 1,880 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1,660 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 1,840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1,720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 1,760 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of the article = Rs. '100y' According to the question, 100y X 1.36 X 0.75 = 100y + 30 Or. 102y = 100y + 30 So, y = (30/2) = 15 So, cost price of the article = 15 X 100 = Rs. 1500 So, desired selling price = 1500 X 1.2 - 80 = Rs. 1,720
