A person sells a TV set at 35% loss. Had he sold it for $135 more, his loss would have been reduced by 15%. How much did he buy the TV?

Let the price of the TV = X
Let the amount he sold the TV = Y

A person sells a TV set at 35% loss

Y = (100% - 35%) of X
Y = (1 - 0.35) of X
Y = 0.65X (eqn 1)

Had he sold it for $135 more, his loss would have been reduced by 15%.

Y + 135 = ((100% - 35%) + 15%) of X
Y + 135 = (0.65 + 0.15) of X
Y + 135 = 0.8X (eqn 2)

How much did he buy the TV?

In short, what is X (A.K.A: find X 😂)

Put (eqn 1) into (eqn 2)
0.65X + 135 = 0.8X
135 = 0.8X - 0.65X
135 = 0.15X
X = 135 ÷ 0.15
X = 900

Answer: $900

Unlimited members in Telegram group now

Telegram has made it easier for its users to communicate, as it has introduced a feature that allows more than 200,000 users in a group chat. However, if the users in a group chat move past 200,000, it changes into "Broadcast Group", but the feature comes with a restriction. Groups with close to 200k members can be converted to a Broadcast Group that allows unlimited members. Only admins can post in Broadcast Groups, but everyone can read along and participate in group Voice Chats," Telegram added.

Tata Power whose core business is to generate, transmit and distribute electricity has made no money to investors in the last one decade. That is a big blunder considering it is one of the largest power generation companies in the country. One of the reasons is the company's huge debt levels which stood at ₹43,559 crore at the end of March 2021 compared to the company’s market capitalisation of ₹44,447 crore.
