Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

$sp = \frac{4}{5} \times cp$

$cp = x$

$gain \: = sp - cp$

• $= \frac{5}{4} \times x - x$

• $= \frac{5x}{4} - x$
• $= \frac{5x - 4x}{4}$
• $= \frac{x}{4}$

$gain \: \% = \frac{gain}{cp} \times 100$

• $= \frac{x}{ \frac{4}{x} } \times 100$
• $= > \frac{x}{4} \times \frac{1}{x} \times 100$
• $= > 25\%$

hence, the gain percent. is 25%
