Assume price of sugar to be 100 (it doesn’t matter if we take anything as we are dealing with percentage only)
40/100*100= 40 (increase)
100+40=140₹
Now reduce by 25%
25/100 * 140= 35₹
140-35=105₹
Increase %age is:
Profit/og price*100
5/100*100= 5% increase
40/100*100= 40 (increase)
100+40=140₹
Now reduce by 25%
25/100 * 140= 35₹
140-35=105₹
Increase %age is:
Profit/og price*100
5/100*100= 5% increase
