If C is cost to manufacturer, then

C*1.15*1.25*1.2 = 135
1.725*C= 135
C = Rs. 78.26

Cost to the customer:
100*115/100*125/100*120/100=Rs 172.5
Manufacturing cost:
(135/172.5)*100=Rs78.26

Ans :- 68.85
for every time the price will change from one to another.

Do it in reverse order i.e..
Sp to customer is 135 with profit of 20% then retailer got it for 108 (135-20%)

Again whole seller gave it with 25% profit
Then he bought it for 81 (108- 25%)

The n 81-15% = 68.85
