A person sold an item at a profit of 12% .If he sold it at a loss of 12% then he would get Rs.6/- less. What is the cost price?

• let the cost price be rs x.
  then in first case selling price =112%of x=1.12x.
  in second case selling price=88% of x=.88x.
  now according to the question:
  1.12x-.88x=6.
  so x=25.
  so cost price is rs 25.

• A person sold an item at a profit of 12% .If he sold it at a loss of 12% then he would get Rs.6/- less.
  
  It means (12+12 =24% ) of cost = Rs. 6
  hence cost = 6*100/24 = Rs. 25
