Question
A shopkeeper sells a luxury watch at a markup price, which is (100/3)% above its cost price. Had he purchased the watch for Rs. 300 more and sold it after giving a 10% discount on its previous marked price, he would have neither gained a profit nor incurred a loss. Now, if the shopkeeper aims to earn a 45% profit on the original cost price, find the selling price of the watch.
