★★4: 5 will be the answer

Answer 2

Given: An article is sold at 25% profit.

To find: We have to find the ratio of cost price to the selling price.

Solution:

To determine the ratio of cost price to the selling price of an article which is sold at 25% profit we have to follow the below steps as follows-

Let the cost price of the article be 100 rupees.

It is sold at 25% profit so, its selling price is 100+25=125 rupees.

Thus the ratio of cost price to the selling price will be

$\frac{100}{125} \\ = \frac{4}{5}$

Thus, the ratio of cost price to selling price is 4:5.
