Question

the cost price of 25 shirt is equal to the selling price of 20 shirts find the loss of profit percent

Answer 1

C.P of 25 shirt = S.P of 20 shirts
Let C.P of 25 shirt = x
So, C.P of 1 shirt = x/25

Now,S.P of 20 shirts = x
So, S.P of 1 shirt = x/20

Profit = x/20 - x/25
=(5x - 4x)/100
=x/100

Now,profit % = profit /C.P * 100%
=x/100 ÷ x/25 * 100%
=x/100 * 25/x * 100%
=25%
So, profit% = 25%
Hope it helps...!!!
