Let CP of camera 1 be X
Let CP of camera 2 be Y
Camera 1 sold at 12% loss
Camera 2 sold at 15% profit
88% of X = 115% of Y, or
0.88X = 1.15Y....(1)
And, X + Y = 406, or
X = 406 - Y....(2)
Putting (2) in (1)
0.88(406 - Y) = 1.15Y
357.28 - 0.88Y = 1.15Y
357.28 = 2.03Y
Y = 357.28 / 2.03
Y = 176
X = 406 - 176
= 230
