Answer 2

Given,

Profit on selling at a certain price = 18%.

We know that,

SP = CP X (100 + Profit %)/100

So,

SP of one article = x * (100 + 18)/100

→ SP of one article = Rs. 118x/100

Also given that,

If it is sold for Rs. 10.50 more, she would have gained 25%.

Now,

The SP of the Article = Rs. (118x/100 + 10.50)

The SP of the Article = Rs. (118x/100 + 10.50)And, Profit = 25%.

The SP of the Article = Rs. (118x/100 + 10.50)And, Profit = 25%.So,

• 118x/100 +10.50 = CP x (100 + Profit %)/100
• (118x + 1050)/100 = x * (100 + 25)/100
• 118x + 1050 = 125x
• 1050 125x - 118x
• 1050 = 7x
• 1050/7 = x
• Rs. 150 = x

Hence, Cost Price of 12 such articles = 12 x x = 12 x 150= Rs. 1800
