First count selling price using 15% profit

Selling price = [(100+15%)/100] x Cost.Price

Selling price = 1.15 x 2100

Selling price = Rs 2415

Selling price of 15kg apple will be Rs. 2415

So, selling price of 1kg will be Rs.161
Because ,
2415/15 = 161 Rs per kg

At 12.5% profit price of one kg was Rs.140

At 15% profit price of one kg is Rs. 161

Therefore Sandesh should sell increasing at Rs. 21 per kg to make a profit of 15%
