• Selling Price = ??
• Gain % = 15%

$\bigstar \: {\boxed{\sf\:{SP = \frac{(100 + profit\%)} {100} \times CP}}}$

$\sf{\longrightarrow} \: SP = \dfrac{(100 + profit\%)} {100} \times CP \\ \\ \sf{\longrightarrow} \: SP = \frac{100 + 15}{100} \times 24000 \\ \\ \sf{\longrightarrow} \: SP = \frac{115}{1\cancel{00}} \times 240\cancel{00} \\ \\ \sf{\longrightarrow} \: SP = 115 \times 240 \\ \\ \sf{\longrightarrow} \: SP = 27600$
