$\bold \green{\underline {Step\:by\:step\:explanation:-}}$

$\red{Given:}$

$Selling \: price = 665\:Rs.$

$Loss = 5\%$

$Cost \: price = 665\times \frac{100}{100} - 5$

$\implies 665 \times \frac{100}{95}$

$\implies 35 \times 20$

$\implies 700\:Rs.$

$Now \: need \: 12\% \: profit \: on \: cost \: price$

$Selling \: price = 700\times 100 + \frac{12}{100}$

$\implies 700 \times 112 \times 100$

$\implies 784\:Rs.$

$Selling \: price \: of \: articles \: will \: be\: 784\:Rs.$
