apples sold = 15 kg
selling price = ₹2100
cost price = ₹2100-12.5% of ₹2100
=₹2100-₹262.5
=1,837.5
cost price of 1 kg apple = ₹122.5
profit on 1 kg apple = 15% of ₹122.5
selling price of 1 kg apple = ₹122.5+15% of ₹122.5
=₹122.5+18.375
= 140.875
selling price = ₹2100
cost price = ₹2100-12.5% of ₹2100
=₹2100-₹262.5
=1,837.5
cost price of 1 kg apple = ₹122.5
profit on 1 kg apple = 15% of ₹122.5
selling price of 1 kg apple = ₹122.5+15% of ₹122.5
=₹122.5+18.375
= 140.875

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple use the equation of finding selling price
First count selling price using 15% profit
S.p. = ((100+15%)/100)*C.P
= 1.15*2100
= 2415RS
Selling price of 15kg apple will be 2415rs
So, selling price of 1kg will be 161(2415/15) rs per kg
At 12.5% profit price of one kg was 140rs
At 15% profit price of one kg is 161rs
Therefore sandesh should sell increasing 21rs per kg
