Dear Student!

Here is the answer to your question.

Selling Price of bouquet = Rs 322

Gain percent = 15%

Let CP of bouquet be Rs x.

⇒ Gain = SP – CP = 322 – x

∴ Gain % = $\frac{Gain}{C.P.} \times 100$

$\Rightarrow 15 = \frac{(322 - x)}{x} \times 100$

⇒ 15x = 32200 – 100 x

⇒ 115x = 32200

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{32200}{115}$

⇒ x = 280

New Gain % = 25%

Also, Gain % = $\frac{Gain}{CP} \times 100$

$\Rightarrow Gain = \frac{Gain % \times CP}{100} = \frac{25 \times 280}{100} = R s 70$

New, S.P. = CP + Gain = Rs 280 + Rs 70 = Rs 350

The florist should sell the bouquet for Rs 350 to earn 25% profit.

Cheers!
