Answer 2

Answer:

1030

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose a brought the article in x rupee

after adding repairing adding 120 rupee of it

y=x+120

a brought b by adding 20 %

z =y+(y×20/100)

z =(100y+20y)/100

z =120y/100

after adding 15 % final price become 1587 for c

1587 = z + (z×15/100)

1587= 115z/100

z =1587×100/115

z =1380

we know the z

120y/100=1380

y= 1380×100/120

y=1150

We know the y

x+120=1150

x=1150-120

x= 1030
