Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C.P of one article be Rs.1

the cost price of 5 articles=Rs.5

According to the problem,

S.P of 4 articles=C.P of 5 articles

S.P of 4 articles=Rs.5

S.P of 1 article=Rs.(5/4)

=Rs.1.25

C.P of 1 article was Rs.1

S.P of the article is Rs.1 25

Thus, profit= Rs.(1.25-1)

=Rs.0.25

Profit %=Profit/C.P×100

=0.25/1×100

= 25%
