The formula for to find gain percentage is
Here 85 is to loss of 15% and
115 is to gain of 15% So, totally 85:18700=115:?

It is very simple.
Calculate cp as: 100/100-15*18700 = 22000
Calculate sp as: 22000+15/100*22000 = 22000+3300 = 25300.
Calculate cp as: 100/100-15*18700 = 22000
Calculate sp as: 22000+15/100*22000 = 22000+3300 = 25300.

18700/ = is 85% not 100%.
Then, 18700/85 x 100 = 22000 (No loss or profit).
So, 15% profit 18700/85 x 115 = 25300.
Then, 18700/85 x 100 = 22000 (No loss or profit).
So, 15% profit 18700/85 x 115 = 25300.

Thanks avjit
CP=100*18700/(100-15)= 22000 {CP=100*SP/(100-loss}
SP=(100+15)*22000/100=25300 {SP=(100+gain)*CP/100}
CP=100*18700/(100-15)= 22000 {CP=100*SP/(100-loss}
SP=(100+15)*22000/100=25300 {SP=(100+gain)*CP/100}

S.P is 18700 with 0.15 %loss,
So c.p-sp=loss c.p=sp+loss.
c.p=18700+18700*0.15 = 21505,
SP = CP * 115/100 = 25300.
So c.p-sp=loss c.p=sp+loss.
c.p=18700+18700*0.15 = 21505,
SP = CP * 115/100 = 25300.

S.p=18700 ,loss=15%.
C.p= 18700*100/100-85
C.p=22000
Now find S.p with gain %
S.p =(100+15)*22000/100
S.p= 25300.
C.p= 18700*100/100-85
C.p=22000
Now find S.p with gain %
S.p =(100+15)*22000/100
S.p= 25300.

When you are calculating 1percent of 18700, you have divided 18700 with 85. But 85 is 85%. Please explain it.

15% loss.
So, 85% -------->18700 then 15% profit.
115% -------- ?
==> (115 * 18700)/85 = 25300.

Calculate Cost price by applying formula
= 100 * sp/100-loss%
and then add it in S.P. of Rs. 18700
= 100 * sp/100-loss%
and then add it in S.P. of Rs. 18700
