To find

C.P=????

Now,

➠Loss incurred on selling TV=5%

➠Let the CP of the TV=x

➠SP of the TV =0.95x

➠New SP of the question =(0.95+2880)

➠Profit =(0.95x+2880)-x=(2880-0.05x)

➠Profit=(2880-0.05x)-x

➠Profit %={[(2880-0.05x)-)/x]×100

➠10={[(2880-0.05x)-x]/x}×100

➠10/100={[(2880-0.05x)-x)/x}

➠x=28800-0.05x

➠1.5x=28800

➠x=28800/15

➠x=19200
