Answer

To find the cost of one dozen bars of soap when the cost of 5 bars is ₹82.50, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Find the cost of one bar of soap.
To find the cost of one bar of soap, we divide the total cost of 5 bars by 5.

\[ \text{Cost of one bar} = \frac{82.50}{5} \]

### Step 2: Calculate the cost of one bar.
Now, we perform the division:

\[ \text{Cost of one bar} = 16.50 \]

### Step 3: Find the cost of one dozen (12 bars) of soap.
Since one dozen is equal to 12 bars, we multiply the cost of one bar by 12.

\[ \text{Cost of one dozen} = 16.50 \times 12 \]

### Step 4: Calculate the total cost for one dozen.
Now, we perform the multiplication:

\[ \text{Cost of one dozen} = 198 \]

### Conclusion:
The cost of one dozen bars of soap is ₹198.
