Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 25% Given: CP = 80% of SP Formula used: Profit% = (SP – CP)/CP × 100 Calculation: CP = 80% of SP ⇒ CP = 80/100 × SP ⇒ CP = 4/5 × SP ⇒ CP/SP = 4/5 ⇒ SP/CP = 5/4 ⇒ SP/CP – 1 = 5/4 – 1 [Subtract 1 both sides] ⇒ (SP – CP)/CP = (5 – 4)/4 ⇒ (SP – CP)/CP × 100 = 1/4 × 100 ⇒ Profit% = 25% [Profit% = (SP – CP)/CP × 100] ∴ Profit% is 25%. |
