Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Let cost price of scooter =  x ,So

x - 15% of x  =  34000

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x - \frac{15 x}{100} = 34000 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{100 x - 15 x}{100} = 34000 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{85 x}{100} = 34000 \\ \Rightarrow x = 34000 \times \frac{100}{85} \\ \Rightarrow x = 400 \times 100 \\ \mathbf{\Rightarrow }\mathit{x}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{=}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{40000} \end{gathered}$$
