Correct Answer: 12 percent
Solution : If $C$ is the cost price then, according to the question, Loss Percentage =$\frac{\text{Cost Price−Selling Price}}{\text{Cost Price}}×100$ ⇒ 22% = $\frac{C –1287}{C}$ ⇒ $\frac{22}{100}$ = $\frac{C –1287}{C}$ ⇒ 22C = 100C – 128700 ⇒ 78C = 128700 $\therefore$ C = 1650 Profit Percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling Price − Cost Price}}{\text{Cost Price}}×100$ $\therefore$ Profit Percentage = $\frac{\text{1848 − 1650}}{\text{1650}}×100=\frac{198}{1650}× 100 = 12\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 12 percent.
