Answer:

A is 1275 and B is 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of A be Rs x and of B be Rs y.

Given that the total cost =2775 Rs

⇒x+y=2775 --- (1)

Also, cost of an article A is 15% less than that of article B

⇒x=y−0.15y⇒x=0.85y --- (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

0.85y+y=2775

1.85y=2775

⇒y=1500

And, x=0.85y=1275

Hence, cost of A is Rs 1275 and of B is Rs 1500.
