Answer 1

Question : If the Cost price is 25% of selling price then the profit percentage is .

Solution :

Let selling price (SP) be Rs 100.

Then, the cost price (CP)

$= Rs \: (25 \%\: of \: 100 )\\ = Rs \: ( \frac{25}{100} \times 100) \\ = Rs \: 25$

Therefore,

• SP = Rs 100
• CP = Rs 25

Since, SP is greater than CP, so there is a profit .

Profit = SP-CP

=Rs (100-25)

= Rs 75

$Profit\% = (\frac{Profit}{CP} \times 100)\% \\ Profit\% =( \frac{75}{25} \times 100)\% \\ Profit\% = (3 \times 100)\%$

$\underline{Profit\% = 300\% }$

Hence, profit% = 300%(Option A)
