Answer 1

Answer:

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

let selling price is 100

them cast price is 75

then profit is 25

profit ℅= (profit*100) /cost price

Answer 2

Answer:

Profit percentage is 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Cost price be x

Given selling price is 25 % less than the selling price

So, Selling price =

$x \times \frac{100 - 25}{100} = x \times \frac{75}{100} = x \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times x}{4}$

Now we can calculate profit percentage by Unitary method,

We know,

$profit = selling \: price - cost \: price = x - \frac{3x}{4} = \frac{x}{4}$

Now cost price means x is equals to 100%

$So, 1 \: is \: equals \: to \frac{100}{x} \% \\ profit \: \frac{x}{4} \: is \: equals \: to \: \frac{100}{x} \times \frac{x}{4} \% = \frac{100}{4} \% = 25\%$
