Solution

C.P of scooter to Rajesh $= 15000$
He sold it to Gopal on $5 %$ profit
$∴ S . P = 15000 + \frac{5}{100} \times 15000 = 15750$
C.P of scooter to Gopal $=$ Salling price $= 15750$
Gopal sold Scooter at $5 %$ loss
$∴ S . P = 15750 - \frac{5}{100} \times 15750 = 15750 - 787.50 = 14962.50$
Gopal sold Scooter to Mohan on $14962.50.$
It means Mohan paid $R s . 14962.50$
