if the cost price of 12 articles is equal to the selling price of 10 articles then the profit percent is

• given,12cp=10sp
  =>6cp=5sp
  =>sp=6cp/5
  profit percent=((sp-cp)/cp)*100
  =((6cp/5 -cp)/cp)*100
  =(6/5 -1)*100
  =100/5=20%

• 12cp=10sp
  Sp=1.2cp
  Profit=sp-cp=1.2cp-cp=0.2cp
  Profit%=(sp-cp)/cp×100=20%

• This can be done in a simple way.
  As it is given CP of 12 = SP of 10 that means profit.( price of 12 can be owned just by selling 10 )
  (SP )10 = (CP)10+(CP)2
  So profit is (CP)2
  And we know profit is calculated on cost price therefore
  ((CP)2/(CP)10 )×100 =20%.
