Question

If cost price is ₹ 4000 and selling price is ₹ 5000, then the profit percentage is .

• A. 10%
• B. 15%
• C. 20%
• D. 25%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 25%

Given that,
C.P = ₹ 4000
S.P = ₹ 5000
As, S.P > C.P,
Profit = S.P - C.P
= ₹(5000 - 4000)
= ₹ 1000

$\therefore \frac{Profit}{C.P}=\frac{ProfitPercent}{100}$

$\frac{1000}{4000}=\frac{ProfitPercent}{100}=25\%$
Hence, the profit percentage is 25%.
