Question

if sp of 25 oranges equal to the cp of 20 oranges find profit or loss​

Answer 1

Answer:

Profit percentage = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Selling price of 25 oranges = Cost price of 20 oranges

To find :

The profit or loss percentage

Concept :

Here is the profit because selling price is greater that cost price .

So , we have to find the number of oranges are profit .

After that to find the profit percentage use this formula -:

$\boxed{\bf{P\%=\dfrac{P}{C.P.}\times100}}$

Where,

P% = Profit percentage

P = Profit

C.P. = Cost price

Solution :

Profit -:

$:\implies\bf{P=S.P.-C.P.}$

$:\implies\bf{P=25-20}$

$:\implies\bf{P=5}$

Profit percentage -:

$:\implies\bf{P\%=\dfrac{5}{\cancel{20}}\times\cancel{100}}$

$:\implies\bf{P\%=5\times5}$

$:\implies\bf{P\%=25\%}$

So , the profit percentage is 25% .
