Let the Cost Price be Rs a
Original Selling price = CP - Loss
= a - 18 % of a
= a - 18a/100
= 82a/100
= 41a/50
New Selling price = 41a/50 + 198
Now,
New Selling price = Cost Price + 15 % of cost Price
=> 41a/50 + 198 = a + 15 % of a
=> 41a / 50 + 198 = a + 15a/100
=> 41a/50 + 198 = 115a/100
=> 198 = 115a/100 - 41a/50
=> 198 = ( 115a - 82a) / 100
=> 198 = 33a / 100
=> a = 198 × 100 / 33
=> a = 600
Cost Price = Rs 600
Original Selling price = CP - Loss
= a - 18 % of a
= a - 18a/100
= 82a/100
= 41a/50
New Selling price = 41a/50 + 198
Now,
New Selling price = Cost Price + 15 % of cost Price
=> 41a/50 + 198 = a + 15 % of a
=> 41a / 50 + 198 = a + 15a/100
=> 41a/50 + 198 = 115a/100
=> 198 = 115a/100 - 41a/50
=> 198 = ( 115a - 82a) / 100
=> 198 = 33a / 100
=> a = 198 × 100 / 33
=> a = 600
Cost Price = Rs 600
