Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Ajay purchased a calculator for ₹ 2700 and spent ₹300 on its repair. He then sold it to Vijay at a gain of 25% . Vijay sold it to Vikram at a loss of 10%.

To find : Its CP ?

Solution :

Ajay purchased a calculator for ₹ 2700 and spent ₹300 on its repair.

The cost price of calculator for Ajay is $C_1=2700+300=Rs.3000$

He then sold it to Vijay at a gain of 25% .

Cost price for Vijay is

$CP_2=125\%\text{ of }3000$

$CP_2=\frac{125}{100}\times 3000$

$CP_2=Rs.3750$

Vijay sold it to Vikram at a loss of 10%.

Cost price for Vikram is

$CP_2=90\%\text{ of }3750$

$CP_2=\frac{90}{100}\times 3750$

$CP_2=Rs.3375$

Therefore, The cost price of the calculator is Rs.3375.
