Answer 2

He increased the 133.33% the C.P.

Explanation:

Let x be the cost price of 20 horses.

Given : Profit percentage on selling horses = 33.33%

Since , Profit =$\dfrac{\text{Profit }\%}{100}\times C.P.$

Therefore profit = $\dfrac{33.33}{100}\times x=0.3333x$

Selling price = CP+ Profit

=x + 0.3333 x = 1.3333x

Now , the percentage he increased the CP= $\dfrac{1.3333x}{x}\times100= 133.33\%$

Hence, he increased the 133.33% the C.P.
