Question

what would be the ratio of cost price and selling price is the profit percent is 25/2 percent​

Answer 1

Profit % = 25 /2

Profit % = ( Profit / C.P ) ×100

25 /2 = ( Profit / C.P ) × 100

25 / 2×100 = Profit / C.P

25 / 200 = Profit / C.P

1/8 = Profit / C.P

we know. profit = S.P – C.P

1/8 = (S.P – C.P) / C.P

1 / 8 = ( S.P / C.P ) – ( C.P / C.P )

1 / 8 = ( S.P / C.P ) – 1

S.P / C.P = 1/8 + 1

S.P / C.P = 9 / 8

reciprocate both sides

C.P / S.P = 8 / 9

Hence ratio of Cost Price. and selling price is 8:9
