Answer 2

Given:

Cost of milk per litre = Rs. 50

Selling price of 25 litres of milk (S.P) = Rs. 25×50 =Rs. 1250

Profit percentage (P%) =?

Solution:

Let, C.P be x. Then total C.P of 25 litres of milk will be 25x.

According to question

Profit amount (P) = Cost price (C.P) of 5 litres milk

P = C.P = 5x

To find P%

P% = P/C.P × 100%

= 5x/25x × 100%

P% = 20%

Hence, a milkman earns a profit percentage of 20%.
