• by selling 40 oranges he gains c.p of 10 i.e(50-40) oranges
  by selling 1 orange he gains c.p of 10/40 oranges
  so,by selling 100 oranges he gains (10/40)*100=25%

• Simple approach to answer this.
  
  we have given that :-
  C.P. of 50 oranges is equal to S.P. of 40 oranges.
  means :- 50 C.P. = 40 S.P.
  C.P./S.P. = 40/50
  it means CP = 40 , S.P. = 50
  profit = 50 - 40 = 10Rs
  Profit % = 10/40*100 = 25%

• 25%. selling price minus cost price, then divide by selling price then multiply with 100
