      Solution

      ATQ, Let cost price of the item be Rs. 100x Marked price of the item = 1.36 ร— 100x = 136x Selling price of the item after a discount of 12% = 0.88 ร— 136x = Rs. 119.68x Selling price of the item after a discount of 18% = 0.82 ร— 136x = Rs. 111.52x According to question, 119.68x โ€“ 111.52x = 61.2 8.16x = 61.2 x = 7.5 Cost price of the item = Rs. 750 Marked price of the item = 136 ร— 7.5 = Rs. 1020 Selling price after 20% of discount = 0.8 ร— 1020 = Rs. 816 Desired profit = 816 โ€“ 750 = Rs. 66
