Question

The ratio of cost price and selling price is 4:5. The profit percent is
•15%
•25%
•20%
•30%​

Answer 1

Given:

The ratio of the cost price and the selling price is 4 ∶ 5

Formula used:

Profit = Selling Price – Cost Price

Profit % = (Profit × 100)/ Cost Price

Calculation:

Let the cost price be Rs. 4x

And the selling price be Rs. 5x

According to the question:

Profit = 5x – 4x = Rs. x

Profit % = (x × 100)/ 4x = 25%

∴ The profit percent is 25%.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The ratio of cost price and selling price is 4:5. The profit percent is

cost price = 4x

selling price = 5x

profit % = ( sp - cp ) / cp X 100

= ( 5x - 4x ) / 4x X 100

= ( x X 100 ) / 4x

= 25

Hence profit % is 25
