    If the selling price of Rs. 276 results in a discount of 8% on the marked price of an item, at what price should the item be sold to offer a discount
    Question



    If the selling price of Rs. 276 results in a discount of 8% on the marked price of an item, at what price should the item be sold to offer a discount of 13% ?

    A.

    Rs. 265

    B.

    Rs. 251

    C.

    Rs. 257

    D.

    Rs. 261

    Correct option is D

    Let the marked price of the item be P.
    Given that a selling price of Rs. 276 results in a discount of 8%, we can write:
    P - (8/100) x P = 276
    0.92P = 276
    P = 276 / 0.92
    P = 300
    Now, we need to find the selling price with a 13% discount:
    Selling price = P - (13/100) xP
    Selling price = 300 - (13/100)*300
    Selling price = 300 - 39
    Selling price = Rs. 261
    Therefore, the item should be sold at Rs. 261 to offer a discount of 13%.
