Question

The cost price of 25 articles is equal to the selling price
of 20 articles. Find the gain %​

Answer 1

Hi

Cost price of 25 articles=₹1*25=₹25

Since cost price of 25 articles is equal to be selling price of 20 articles

So the selling price of 20 articles will be ₹25

Cost price of 20 articles=₹1*20=₹20

Since sp is greater than cp so there is clearly a profit made

Profit=sp-cp

=25-20=₹5

Profit percent= profit/cp*100

5/20*100=500/20=25 percent

Hence there is a profit of 25 percent
