SP of Flower Pot=322Rs
Gain%=15%

Let CP be 100
Therefore SP=Rs115

CP...........SP
100..........115
x...............322

x=322*100/115
x=32200/115
x=280Rs

CP=280Rs
Gain%=20%
Let CP be 100

CP...........SP
100.........120
280.........x

x=280*120/100
x=33600/100
x=Rs336

Let the cost price of the flower pot be Rs "x".

Selling price = Rs 322.

Profit = Rs (322-x)

Profit % = (Profit * 100)/CP

or, [(322-x) * 100]/x

Acc to the question, [(322-x) * 100]/x = 15.

or, 32200 - 100x = 15x

or, 115x = 32200

or, x = 32200/115

or, x = 280.

Therefore, the cost price is Rs 280.

Now, let us assume that he sells it Rs "y" to make a profit of 20%.

Profit = Rs (y-280)

Profit % = [(y-280) * 100]/280 = 20

or, 100y - 28000 = 5600

or, 100y = 33600

or, y = Rs 336

He should sell it at Rs 336 to gain 20%. [Ans]
