Answer 2

Given: A person sells an article for $80$rupees and gains $16$rupees.

We have to find profit percentage.

As we know that$\text { Gain\% }=\frac{\text { gain }}{\text { CP }} \times 100$.

By using the above formula, we are finding the profit percentage.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

A person sells an article for $80$rupees and gains $16$rupees.

$\therefore CP=SP-gain$

$=>CP=80-16\\=>CP=64$

Now,

$=>\text { Gain\% }=\frac{\text { gain }}{\text { CP }} \times 100\\\\=>\text { Gain\% }=\frac{\text { 16 }}{\text { 64 }} \times 100\\\\=>\text { Gain\% }=\frac{1}{4}\times 100\\\\=>\text { Gain\% }=25$

Hence, the profit percentage will be$25$%.
