>>

let's learn the formula for finding Selling price first!

>>

the formula is ,

Selling price =
Marked price - Discount

Marked price is rupees 3000

discount% is 15%

>>

We will have to find the discount given,

so, we will have to find 15% of 3000

>>>

(15/100)3000

=> 15(30)

=> 450

Discount given is rupees 450!

Now, we have to find the Selling price!

As we know,

Marked price - Discount = Selling price!

3000 - 450 = Selling price !

2550 = Selling price!

Now, we will have to find the Cost price!

Profit given is rupees 400..

>>>

Profit = Selling price - Cost price!

=> 400 = 2550 - Cost price!

=> Cost price = 2550 - 400

=> Cost price = 2150!

Cost price is rupees 2150!

Hope my answer helps you!
