Question

Sunita is making a profit of $25$% on her selling price. What is her actual profit percentage?

• A. $\frac{100}{3}$%
• B. $20$%
• C. $25$%
• D. $30$%

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\frac{100}{3}$%

Let assume selling price 100 Rs

Profit = 25% of selling price = $100\times \frac{25}{100}=25Rs$

$\therefore CostPrice=SellingPrice-Profit=100-25=75$

Hence, actual profit percentage = $\frac{profit\times 100}{CostPrice}=\frac{25\times 100}{75}=\frac{100}{3}\%$
