• so the new selling price will be within 4.50 and 2.25(half)
  342.86/62=5.53 not correct
  342.86/79=4.34 possible
  342.86/65=5.27 not possible
  342.86/81=4.23 possible
  
  so if he wants more profit he reduce the price to 4.34 hence the answer is 79

• The original price of the chocolates was Rs 4.50 each. However, there were no sales at that price. When the shop reduced the price, all chocolates sold but enabling to realize at Rs 342.86 from chocolates alone. The new price was not less than half of the original price. Therefore, the new price is Rs 4.3412.
  
  To find out how many chocolates were sold, we can use the following formula:
  
  Number of chocolates = Total amount earned / Price per chocolate
  
  We know that the total amount earned is Rs 342.86 and the price per chocolate is Rs 4.34. Substituting these values in the above formula, we get:
  
  Number of chocolates = 342.86 / 4.34
  
  Number of chocolates = 78.87
  
  Therefore, approximately 79 chocolates were sold.
  
  I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
