Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A skyscraper is a large continuously habitable building having multiple floors. Modern sources currently define skyscrapers as being at least 100 metres or 150 metres in height, though there is no universally accepted definition.

Answer 2

Let's see what we have here. A shopkeeper sold Item X for a his selling price (SP).

Let SP = x

Since the question says that Profit is 25% of the selling price, we have:

Profit = 25% SP = 0.25x

Now, we already know that:

Profit = SP - Cost

This part is the catch. To find out how much Item X originally cost,

Cost = SP - Profit = x - 0.25x = 0.75x

Now that we know the original cost of Item X, we can easily calculate the Real profit % using this formula:

= (Profit/Cost)*100

= (0.25x/0.75x)*100

= 33%

And there you have it. Hope I explained it clear enough.
