Selling Price = Rs 16.50

Find the Selling Price in percentage:

Loss = 12%

Selling Price = Cost Price - Loss

Selling Price = 100 - 12 = 88%

Find the Cost Price:

Selling Price = 88%

Selling Price = Rs 16.50

88% = 16.50

1% = 16.50 ÷ 88 = Rs 3/16

100% = 3/16 x 100 = Rs 18.75

Answer: The Cost Price is Rs 18.75
