Let cost price of the watch is x.
So according to the statement
x - 15% of x = 1275
x - 3x/20 = 1275
Taking L.C.M as 20 we get
17x/20 = 1275
x = (1275×20)/17 = 1500
So to sell the watch at a profit of 10%
Selling price should be
x+10% of x
1500+10%of 1500
1500+150=1650
So according to the statement
x - 15% of x = 1275
x - 3x/20 = 1275
Taking L.C.M as 20 we get
17x/20 = 1275
x = (1275×20)/17 = 1500
So to sell the watch at a profit of 10%
Selling price should be
x+10% of x
1500+10%of 1500
1500+150=1650
