⇒ Cost price of first article × (100 + profit)% = selling price ⇒ Cost price of first article = 1495/(100 + 15)% ⇒ The cost price of the first article = (1495/115) × 100 ⇒ The cost price of first article = Rs. 1300 ⇒ Profit on the first article = selling price – cost price ⇒ Profit on first article = 1495 – 1300 = Rs. 195 ⇒ The cost price of the second article = Rs. 1300 ⇒ The selling price of the second article = cost price × (100 + profit)% ⇒ Selling price of second article = 1300 × (100 + 10)% ⇒ The selling price of the second article = 1300 × 110/100 ⇒ The selling price of the second article = Rs. 1430 ⇒ Profit in second article = 1430 – 1300 = Rs. 130 ⇒ Total profit = 195 + 130 = Rs. 325 ∴ Total profit in two articles is Rs. 325.
