Cost price?

SOLUTION:-

Let the CP be x

FORMULA TO FIND COST PRICE:

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{100}{100 + 15\%} \times 223000$

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{100}{115} \times 223000$

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{ \cancel{100}}{ \cancel{115}} \times 223000$

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{20}{23} \times 223000$

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{4460000}{23}$

$\rightarrow \sf 193913 \dfrac{1}{23}$

Hence , Cost price on the air conditioner is 193913 1⁄23
