Answer 2

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

let cost price be x;

market price =x + 25% of x:

let be solve

mp = x + (25/100)* x;

     =  x + 0.25 x;

     = 1.25x;

selling price = mp + 20 % of 1.25 x;

                    = 1.25 x + (20/100)* 1.25 x;

                    = 1.25 x + 0.25 x;

                    = 1.5 x;

now Profit % = (sp -cp) / (cp) *100;

                     = (1.5x-x) / (x) *100;

                     = 0.5x /x *100;

                     =50 %
