Answer 2

The 1/4th profit if 5 such article are sold for Rs.825 each is Rs.31.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An article when sold for Rs. 960 fetches 20% profit.

To find : What would be the 1/4th profit /loss if 5 such article are sold for Rs.825 each ?

Solution :

The Selling price is SP=Rs.960

Profit%=20%

The cost price is $CP=\frac{SP}{100+P\%}\times 100$

Substitute the value,

$CP=\frac{960}{100+20}\times 100$

$CP=\frac{960}{120}\times 100$

$CP=800$

The cost price is Rs.800.

5 such article is sold for Rs.825 each.

Which means there is a profit 825-800=25.

i.e. There is a profit of Rs.25 on one article.

The profit on 5 such article is $25\times 5=125$

Now, $\frac{1}{4}\text{ of }P$

$=\frac{1}{4}\times 125$

$=31.25$

Therefore, Rs.31.25 is the 1/4th profit if 5 such article are sold for Rs.825 each.
