Step-by-Step Solution

To find the original selling price when a discount percentage is applied, you can use the relationship between the original price, the discount rate, and the final discounted price.

1. Define the variables:

   • Let the original selling price be x.

   • Discount percentage = 15%.

   • This means the discounted price is (100% - 15%) = 85% of the original price.

   • Discounted selling price = Rs. 3675.40.

2. Set up the equation:

   • 85% of x = 3675.40

   • 0.85 * x = 3675.40

3. Solve for x:

   • x = 3675.40 / 0.85

   • x = 4324
