Solution :-
Cost price of 10 oranges = Rs 1
Cost price of 1 orange = Rs 1/10 = Rs 0.1
Selling price of 8 oranges = Rs 1
Selling price of 1 orange = Rs 1/8 = Rs 0.125
Selling price is greater than the cost price. Therefore, profit.
Profit = S.P - C.P
= Rs (0.125 - 0.1)
= Rs 0.025
Profit percent = (profit × 100)/C.P %
= (0.025 × 100)/0.1 %
= 2.5/0.1 %
= 25 %
Hence,
Profit percentage = 25%

Answer:
Cost price of 1 orange is RS 1/10 = RS 0.1.
Cost price of 10 orange is RS 1 .
Selling price of 1 orange is RS 1/8 = RS . 0.125
Selling price of 8 oranges is RS 1.
There is profit so we use formula of profit
Profit = S.P - C.P
RS = (0.125 - 0.1)
Rs = 0.025
Formula of profit percentage :
( Profit × 100 ) / 0.1%
(0.025 × 100 ) /0.1 %
= 25 / 0.1%
= 25 %
So ,
Profit = 25%
