Hope it will help you

Answer 2

Answer: If 12.5 is profit percentage then,

CP = (SP*100)/(100+ profit percentage)

= (Rs 418.5*100)/(100+12.5)

= 41850/112.5

= Rs 372

Therefore, cost price = Rs 372.

But if 12.5 is profit then,

CP = SP - Profit

= Rs 418.5 - Rs 12.5

= Rs 406

Therefore, CP = Rs 406

Hope it helps.
