Selling price of the article is = Rupees 9.50

Let the cost price be x

Loss percent=5 percent

Loss = 5/100×x

Loss= Cost price-Selling price

5x/100= x-9.50

5x=(x-9.50)100

5x=100x-950

100x-5x=950

95x=950

x=950/95

x=Rupees 10

Cost price of the article os Rupees 10

If the selling price would be 12.20

Gain =Selling price - Cost price

Gain=12.20-10.00

Gain =2.20

Gain percent =Gain /Cost price ×100

Gain =2.20/10×100

Gain percentage=22 percent
