Question

Dia sold her dress for ₹2500 with a profit of ₹500. She made a profit of ___ % on this sale.

• A. 25

Answer 1

The correct option is A 25
Given,
Selling price of the dress = ₹2500
Profit = ₹500

$\Rightarrow$ Cost price = Selling price - Profit
= 2500 - 500
= ₹2000

Let profit percentage be a%.

a% of Cost price = Profit
$\Rightarrow \frac{a}{100}\times 2000=500$
$\Rightarrow a=25$

Therefore, Dia made a profit of 25%.
