Solution

SP of the bouquet = Rs 322
Gain percentage = 15%
CP of the bouquet =100100+gain%×SP=Rs 100100+15×322=Rs 100115×322=Rs 280

Now, CP = Rs 128 and desired gain percentage = 25%

Desired SP=100+gain%100×CP=Rs 125100×280=Rs 350

​Hence, the selling price to obtain the desired gain must be Rs 350.
