# C.P of watch = x Rs.,(let)
$\therefore$ S.P. of watch =$\frac{x\times 95}{100}=$
$\frac{19x}{20} Rs.$
Case II,
S.P.=$ (\frac{19x}{20}+56.25)$
Profit percent = 10 %
$\therefore \frac{x\times 110}{100}=\frac{19x}{20}+56.25$
$\Rightarrow \frac{11x}{10}-\frac{19x}{20}=56.25$
$\Rightarrow \frac{22x-19x}{20}=56.25$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3x}{20}=56.25$
$\Rightarrow 3x=56.25\times 20$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{56.25\times 20}{3}=375 Rs.$
