Calculate Bharath's Cost Price

Bharath sold the item for ₹2915 at a 47% loss. Let $CP_B$ be his cost price. Using $SP = CP(1 - \text{Loss}\%)$, we get $2915 = CP_B(1 - 0.47) = CP_B(0.53)$.

$CP_B = \frac{2915}{0.53} = 5500$

Calculate Anand's Selling Price

Anand sold the item to Bharath at a 25% profit. Since Bharath's cost price is Anand's selling price, we have $SP_A = CP_B = 5500$.

$SP_A = 5500$

Find Anand's initial cost

Anand's selling price includes the original cost ($CP_A$) and the repair expenses ($82$). $SP_A = (CP_A + 82) \times 1.25$.

$5500 = (CP_A + 82) \times 1.25 \implies CP_A + 82 = \frac{5500}{1.25} = 4400$

Final Calculation

Subtract the repair expenses from the base value: $CP_A = 4400 - 82$.

$CP_A = 4318$
