the article is sold at a loss so the cp(cost price) is more than sp(selling price). or
loss = cp-sp
=> cp = loss +sp.....1)
sp =138 Rs
loss = 8% of cp = cp*8/100
from1)
=> cp = [cp8/100] + 138
cp[1 - [8/100]] = 138
cp[92/100]=138
=> cp = 138*100/92
cp =13800/92
solve it further to get result

sp=cp
92=100
138= 138*100/92
= 150
cp=150
Loss= 150*8/100
=12
