Answer 2

$\green{\underline{\underline{Given}}}$

selling price=₹1275

loss=15%

let the cost price be X

$\pink{\boxed{\mathcal{We\:have\:to\:find}}}$

Cost price

$\huge\bold\orange{Now}$

x - (x × 15/100) = 1275

=> x - 15x/100 = 1275

=> 85x = 127500

=> x = 127500/85 = 1500

If he sells at 10% profit,

1500 + (1500×10%) = 1500+150 = 1650.

$\implies \: cp = 1650$
