By selling a bicycle for Rs. 2,850, a shopkeeper gains 14%. If the profit is reduced to 8%, then the selling price will be
Solution
Given: Initial selling price = 2,850
     Profit = 14%
     As we know profit and loss is applicable on cost price only
      let's say it is $$x$$
      hence $$x$$+$$\frac{14x}{100}$$ = 2,850
        or  $$\frac{114x}{100}$$ = 2,850
        or  $$x$$ = 2500
 Now new profit is 8% of 2500 i.e. 200 hence new sold price will be 2700
