Question

if the cost of 25 tables equals the selling price of 20 tables.find the profit percent?

Answer 1

cp -sp
25-20 =5
gain%=5×100/20
=25%

Answer 2

The profit percentage would be 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost price of 25 tables = Selling price of 20 tables

$25CP=20SP\\\\\dfrac{CP}{SP}=\dfrac{20}{25}\\\\\dfrac{CP}{SP}=\dfrac{4}{5}$

Profit = SP - CP

Profit = 5x - 4x

Profit = x

Profit% would be

$\dfrac{x}{4x}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4}\times 100\\\\=25\%$

Hence, the profit percentage would be 25%.
