    1650 profit 10%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Original Price of Watch = x

    15% of x = x*15% = x*0.15

    Given

    Selling pirce = 1275

    Original Price - 15% of original pirce = Selling Price

    x-0.15x=1275

    0.85x=1275

    0.85x/0.85=1275/0.85

    x=1500

    Original Price of Watch = Rs. 1500

    10% of 1500 = 10/100 * 1500 = 1/10 * 1500 = 1500/10 = 150

    Selling price at 10% profit = 1500 + 150 = 1650

    He sould sell watch to kae for Rs. 1650 to get a profit of 10%
