Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the value of cost price and selling price be 4x and 5x respectively.

Now, the formula to find the profit is

→ Selling price - Cost price

→ Profit = S.P - C.P

→ Profit = 5x - 4x

→ Profit = X

Now, formula to find the profit percentage is

→ [(Profit/C.P) × 100] %

Given:-

• Profit → x

• Cost Price → 4x

→ [(x/4x) × 100] %

→ (1/4 × 100) %

After calculating (1/4 × 100) %, we will get 25% as our answer.

Therefore, the Profit Percentage is 25%
