Question

By selling $20$ mangoes a person recovers price of $25$ mangoes. Then profit percentage is:

• A. $20$ $\%$
• B. $25$ $\%$
• C. $27.5$ $\%$
• D. $22.5$ $\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $25$ $\%$

Let S.P. of $20$ mangoes $=$ C.P. of $25$ mangoes $=$ Rs. $100$
S.P. of $1$ mango $=$ Rs. $\frac{100}{20}=$ Rs. $5$
and C.P. of $1$ mango $=$ Rs. $\frac{100}{25}=$ Rs. $4$

Profit $=$ Rs. $(5-4)=$ Rs. $1$
Profit $\%=$ $\frac{1}{4}\times 100=25\%$
