      Solution

      ATQ;

      Let the cost price of the gadget for Ravi be Rs. '100x'.

      So, cost price of the gadget for Prashant = 100x X 1.15 = Rs. '115x'.

      Profit made by Ravi = 115x - 100x = Rs. 15x.

      Cost price of the gadget for Rina = 115x + 15x = Rs. 130x.

      So, cost price of the gadget for Seema = 130x X 1.45 = Rs. 188.5x.

      So, required % = {(188.5x - 100x)/100x} X 100 = 88.5%.
