Answer 2

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have given in the question trader gains 25% profit by selling an Article in 240 Rs and we need to calculate that by selling it in 216 Rs how Much profit  he would make

so 25%240$\dfrac{25}{100}\times240=60$

Therefore he earns 60 Rs as profit on 240 Rs, Therefore the original price Of an article=240-60=180

Now if he would sell an article for 216 Rs i.e. he is making a profit of 36 Rs.

So we need to calculate how much % is 36 of 180 Rs

$\dfrac{x}{100}\times180=36$

$x=20%$

Therefore our final answer would be 20%
