Answer 1

Answer:

The C.P. of 5 identical articles is equal to S.P. of 4 articles. Calculate the profit percent or loss percent made if all the articles bought have been sold.

Answer

It is given that

C.P of 5 articles = S.P of 4 articles

Consider the C.P of 5 articles = S.P of 4 articles =₹100

C.P of 1 article =100/5=₹20

S.P of 1 article =100/4=₹25

Profit = S.P – C.P

Substituting the values

=25–20

=₹5

Profit percent=(profit×100)/C.P

Substituting the values

=(5×100)/20

=25%
