Answer»

In the given problem,

Let C.P denote the COST price,

Then (100+12)% of CP = (100-4) % of Cost

=> Rs. 128 (112)% of CP = (96) % of Cost = Rs.128

16 % of CP = 128

=> CP = 128 x 100 / 16

= 12800 / 16

In the given problem,

Let C.P denote the cost price,

Then (100+12)% of CP = (100-4) % of Cost

=> Rs. 128 (112)% of CP = (96) % of Cost = Rs.128

16 % of CP = 128

=> CP = 128 x 100 / 16

= 12800 / 16

= 800.
