The cost of Y to buy the goods
= The price that X sold the goods to Y
= $200 * (1 + c%)

When Y sold back the goods to X, the loss (in $) :
200 * (1 + c%) * c% = 10.5
2c (1 + 0.01c) = 10.5
0.02c² + 2c - 10.5 = 0
2c² + 200 - 1050 = 0
c² + 100c - 525 = 0
(c - 5)(c + 105) = 0
c - 5 = 0 or c + 105 = 0
c = 5 or c = -105 (rejected)

Hence, c = 5
