Answer 2

Given :

5 sweets were bought for 1 rupee.

4 sweets were sold for 1 rupee.

To find :

The profit percentage.

Solution:

We know,

CP of 1 sweet = 100/5 = 20 paise

SP of 1 sweet = 100/4 = 25 paise

Profit = SP - CP

• When SP is greater than CP, there is profit.
• When CP is greater than SP, there is loss.

$profit\% = \frac{sp - cp}{cp} \times 100$

$= \frac{25 - 20}{20} \times 100$

$= \frac{5}{20} \times 100$

$= \frac{1}{4} \times 100$

$= \frac{100}{4}$

$= 25\%$

Thus, the required profit percentage is 25%
