Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

₹14000

Explanation:

Let c represent the cost price, and m represent the marked price.

c × (1 +40%) = m

m × (1 -15%) - c = ₹1900

Using the first expression for m, the second equation becomes ...

1.40c×0.85 -c = ₹1900

0.19c = ₹1900

c = ₹1900/0.19 = ₹10000

Then the marked price was ...

m = 1.40c = 1.40×₹10000 = ₹14000

The marked price was ₹14000.
