new sp=old sp+15% of old sp
new sp=6500+(6500*15/100)
=6500+975=rs7475
old cp=88% 0f old sp
6500*88/100=5720
new cp=25% of old cp
= 5720*25/100
=7150
profit %= (gain*100)/cp
profit %= ((7475-7150)*100)/7150
=(325*100)/7150
=50/11
=4.5

Here price paid by customer is increased by 15 % means selling price increased by 15 %

So, new selling price of printer is = 6500 + 15 % of 6500 = 6500 + 975 = 7475

New cost price of printer = Old Cost Price + 25 % of Old Cost Price -----------(a)

Old Cost Price = 6500 - 12 % of 6500 = 6500 - 780 = 5720

Now put the value of Old Cost Price in Equation (a)

New cost price of printer = 5720 + 25 % of 5720 = 5720 + 1430 = 7150

sp=6500------------------> profit = 12%

orginal price is 6500-12%of 6500

6500-6500*12/100=5750
new sp =6500+6500*15/100=7475
new cp=25%of 5750

p%=new sp-newcp/newcp *100
