Answer:

$300

Explanation:

original price = $250

the profit= 15%

ok now let the cost price of article be ₹ x

x + 15% of x = 250

1.15x = 250 => 115x ÷ 100 = 250

115x = 25000 => x = 25000 ÷ 115

x = 5000/ 23

cost price of article = ₹5000/ 23

required profit = 38%

= 38% of 5000/ 23 = 0.38 × 5000/ 23

= 1900/ 23

the required will be selling price to gain about 38%

= cost price + required profit which is

= (5000/ 23) + (1900/ 23)))

= 6900/ 23 = $300

Answer: now its required selling price = $300
