Answer 2

Answer:25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Soln,

       Given,

                   Let, the CP be "x"

Then,

          Profit equal to one-fourth of it"s  CP becomes 1/4 of x

Now,

         P= 1/4 x

           = 1x/4

And,

         P= P/CP*100%

           = 1x/4/x*100%

           = 1/4*100%

           = 25%

Therefore,

                  The profit percentage is 25%
