_______
0.98

X = 17150 × 100
-------------------
98
X = 17500
98 17150
----- = ------------
100 X

X = 17150 × 100

98
X = 17500
Commission paid= 2%
For RS.100, Nikita gets RS.98.
So, for RS.x, she got RS.17,150.

Ratio: 100:x = 98:17150
Cross multiplication,
x = 17150 × 100 ÷ 98
x = Rs.17500
Selling price= RS.17500.
