- Given, SP=(5/4)CP
SP/CP = 5/4
So, SP=5 & CP=4
: PROFIT%= (SP-CP)/CP×(100)
= (5-4)/4×(100)
= (1/4)×100
= 25% gain (ans) - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- s.p->5/4 c.p
s.p/c.p=5/4
=1/4*100
=25%gain - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)

- Let CP=100,
SP=5/4*CP
SP=5/4*200,
SP=125,
profit=SP-CP
=125-100
profit=25
profit%=(profit/CP)*100
profit%=(25/100)*100
=25% (gain) - 3 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- let c.p=x
s.p=5x/4
profit = s.p-c.p= x/4
profit % = (profit/c.p)*100
= (x/4/x)*100=25% gain - 3 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
