Simple. C.P = 1400;
15%of C.P = 210;
S.P = 1400-210 = 1190;.
15%of C.P = 210;
S.P = 1400-210 = 1190;.

100% = 1400
10% = 140
5% = 70
85% = (140 x 8) + 70.
= 1190.
10% = 140
5% = 70
85% = (140 x 8) + 70.
= 1190.

c.p = 1400
Loss% = 15%.
s.p = c.p*(1-loss%/100)=>1190.
Loss% = 15%.
s.p = c.p*(1-loss%/100)=>1190.

1400 FOR 15% RS. 210.
Less 1400-210 = 1190 that's all.
Less 1400-210 = 1190 that's all.

Its very simple.
14*15 = 210.
1400-210 = 1910.
14*15 = 210.
1400-210 = 1910.

1400*15/100 = 210.
Then 1400-210 = 1190.
Then 1400-210 = 1190.
