Answer 2

Let MP of the article = Rs.x

Therefore, CP of the article = x×64100x×64100 = Rs. 16x2516x25

and SP of the article = x×(100−12)100=Rs.x×2225x×(100−12)100=Rs.x×2225

= Profit = (22x25−16x25)=Rs.6x25(22x25−16x25)=Rs.6x25

Hence, profit per cent = 6x2516x25×100%6x2516x25×100%

= 6×10166×1016 = 37.5%

hope this is helpful to us.
