price

→ x = 600 - 15x/100

→ x+ 15 x /100 = 600

→ x + 3x / 20 = 600

→ x (23/20) = 600

$\huge \pink {Here\;is\;the\;answer}$

Given ,

SP = 600

Gain = 15%

CP = x

=> x + (15% of x)

=> x + 15/100 × x

=> x + 15x/100

=> 115x/100

According to the question :-

115x/100 = 600

115x = 60000

x = 60000/115

x = 521.73

$\huge \boxed {Answer = Rs.521.73}$
