Given, Cost price = Rs. 275

$L o s s % = 15 %$

$L o s s = 15 % o f 275$

$L o s s = \frac{15}{100} \times 275$

$L o s s = \frac{4125}{100}$

$L o s s = 41.25$

$S e l l i n g p r i c e = C o s t p r i c e - L o s s$

$S e l l i n g p r i c e = 275 - 41.25$

$S e l l i n g p r i c e = R s . 233.75$
