No scam pls

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price be '4x' and selling point be '5x'.

   Profit = SP - CP

             = 5x - 4x

             = x

Profit % = (Profit/CP) *100%

             = (x/4x) * 100%

             = (1/4) * 100%

             = 25%

Profit percentage earned by the retailer is 25%

Answer 2

Given :-

the ratio of cost price and selling price of a bed sheet is 4:5,

To Find :-

Profit %

Solution :-

Let

CP = 4y

SP = 5y

Profit % = SP - CP/CP × 100

Profit % = (5y - 4y)/4y × 100

Profit% = 1y/4y × 100

Profit% = 1/4 × 100

Profit% = 100/4

Profit% = 25%
