Original Weight = 800g
Mistaken Weight = 1000g
Profit = 1000 - 800 = 200
Profit % =200*100/800
= 20000/800
= 200/8
=25%
Hope it is right

Answer:
The Actual profit percentage is 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Actual weight of article = 1000gm
Faulty weight of article = 800gm
Formula used:
Profit percentage due to wrong weight=[Error/(True weight-Error)]*100
Calculation:
Actual weight of article = 1000gm
Faulty weight of article = 800gm
Error=1000-800 =200gm
Profit percentage due to wrong weight = [Error/(True weight-Error)]*100
=(200/800)*100 =25%
The Actual profit percentage is 25%
