Question

Find the Profit Percent When C.P is 25% of S.P
If the cost price is 25% of selling price then what is the profit percent?

Answer 1

Lets assume that the S.P. is Rs. 100. Since its been given that C.P. is 25% of S.P. Hence, C.P. will be Rs. 25.

We can now calculate the profit to be S.P. - C.P. = 100 - 25 = Rs. 75

We can then calculate the profit percentage as follows:
[Profit/CP] X 100 = (75/25) x 100 = 300%

Answer 2

Answer = 300%

Explanation :

Here,

Selling Price = SP.

Cost of Price = CP.

Consider Selling Price is Rs. 100.

From the question,

If CP is 25% of SP, therefore CP = 100 * (25 / 100).

CP = Rs. 25.

Profit = SP - CP.

= 100 - 25 ==> Rs. 75.

Profit percentage (%) = [(Profit * 100) / CP].

= [(75 * 100) / 25].

Profit percentage = 300%.
