Question

A person sells $320$ mangoes at the cost price of $400$ mangoes. What is his profit per cent?

• A. $10\%$
• B. $15\%$
• C. $20\%$
• D. $25\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $25\%$

Let the C.P. of $1$ mango $=$ Rs. $1$

Then, S.P. of $320$ mangoes $=$ C.P. of $400$ mangoes $=$ Rs. $400$
C.P. of $320$ mangoes $=$ Rs. $320$

Profit $=400-320=$ Rs. $80$
$\therefore$ Profit $\%$ $=\frac{80}{320}\times 100=25\%$
