Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the original S.P. of the perfume be Rs. x.
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{85}}\% {\text{ of }}x = {\text{3675}}{\text{.40}} \cr & \Rightarrow x{\text{ = }}\left( {\frac{{3675.40 \times 100}}{{85}}} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 4324 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}4324 \cr} $$
