Let MP of the article = Rs.x
Therefore, CP of the article = \( \Large \frac{x \times 64}{100} \) = Rs. \( \Large \frac{16x}{25} \)
and SP of the article = \( \Large \frac{x \times \left(100-12\right) }{100} = Rs.\frac{x \times 22}{25} \)
= Profit = \( \Large \left(\frac{22x}{25} - \frac{16x}{25}\right) = Rs.\frac{6x}{25} \)
Hence, profit per cent = \( \Large \frac{\frac{6x}{25}}{\frac{16x}{25}} \times 100\% \)
= \( \Large \frac{6 \times 10}{16} \) = 37.5%
