the book is?​

Answer 1

$\tt\huge{\red{Answer:-}}$

=33.33%

$\tt\Large{\green{Explanation:-}}$

$\tt\large{\red{Given:-}}$

Let the selling price be 100

so profit = 25% of SP = 25

$\tt\large{\blue{By\:using\: formula:-}}$

Cost price = SP - profit

= I 00 - 25 = 75

Actual profit % =( profit/cost price) × 100

= (25 / 75) × 100

= 33.33 %
