Question

The selling price of 4 articles is same as the cost price of 5 articles. Find the loss or profit percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

25%profit

Step-by-step explanation:

If the CP of each article be $ 1 then

CP of 4 articles = $ 4

SP of 4 articles = $ 5

Profit = SP of 4 articles - CP of 4 articles = 5 - 4 = $ 1

∴ Profit percent =

(Profit/CP of 4 articles)*100%

Profit percent = 1/4*100 = 25%
