Hi ,
selling price = s.p = Rs 360
gain = g = 15%
cost price = c.p = ?
c.p = ( 100 × s.p ) / ( 100 + g)
= ( 100 × 360 ) / ( 100 + 15 )
= 36000/115
= Rs 313.04
I hope this helps you.

Let the original price(C.P) be x,
===========
15% of x = 15x/100
---------
SP = CP + profit
360 = x + 15x/100
36000 = 115x
36000/115 = x
₹313.05 = x
Cost price = ₹313.05
