Answer:
GIVEN :-
Marked price of article = ₹840
Discount = 15%
Profit = 19%
TO FIND :-
CP
SOLUTION :-
At first,
He gave discount and had profit of 19%
So,
SP = 840 - 15/100 × 840
SP = 840 - 15/10 × 84
SP = 840 - 3/2 × 84
SP = 840 - 252/2
SP = 840 - 126
SP = 714
Now,
CP = SP × 100/100 + Profit%
CP = 714 × 100/100 + 19%
CP = 71400/119
CP = 600
