let selling price of article be x.


profit = 25% of s. p

C.p + profit = selling price

C.p + 0.25x = x


C.p = 0.75x



profit% = profit × 100/ cost price


0.25x × 100/ 0.75x



= 33 1/ 3 %


Answer: option (d) is correct

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer - 33(1/3)%

Let Selling Price of the article be 100 rupees.

Profit = 25% of Sp

= (25/100) × 100 = 25

Then, Cost price = Sp - Profit

=100-25 = 75

Profit % = (Profit/Cp) × 100

= (25/75) × 100

= (1/3) ×100

= 33 (1/3) %
