    Solution

    ATQ, we can say that  Let the initial cost price of an article is = 100x Then marked price will be = 130x  Then SP of an article will be =117x  Then Profit will be =117x – 100x=17x  Hence, the Cost price of article will be = (850/17) x 100 = 5000  So, the Selling price of an article will be = 5000 × (12/10) = Rs.6000
