Correct Answer:

120

Explanation:

              C.P.               S.P. (@+18%)             M.R.P.(@+33%)

              100                      118                           133

                                             ↓  15 (Difference)__ ↓   = x

               100 Units ⇒ 800

                 1 Unit ⇒ \(\frac{725}{100}\) ⇒ 80

                15 Units ⇒15 × 80  ⇒ 120 = x
