It seems like I am having troubles while dealing with dishonest merchants! Here is another problem:

A cloth merchant says that due to slump in the market, he sells the cloth at $10\%$ loss but he uses a false meter scale and actually gains $15\%$.Find the actual length of the scale.

Any hints, solution, explanation are welcome.
