Given :

Cost price to the retailer is 1000 rupees 

He first increased price by 30% and then gives discount of 15% 

Calculations :

Price after 30% increment = 1000 + 30% of 1000 

⇒ 1000 + 300 = 1300 rupees 

Now price he provides discount at this price so,

Price after 15% discount on increased price = 1300 - 15% of 1300 

⇒ 1300 - 195 

⇒ 1105 rupees 

∴ final selling price will be 1105 rupees
