Question

find the profit or loss% if the selling of 20 articles is equal to the cost price of 25 articles

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of a book be $10 Then ,

• 20 Books = 20 * $10 = $200

• 25 Books = 25 * $10 = $250

So Loss = $250 - $200 = $50

Loss % = Loss / CP * 100 %

           ⇒ 50 /200 * 100

           ⇒ 100 / 4 %

           ⇒ 25 %

So 25 % Is the answer
