Question

What is the profit percent if the cost price of $50$ oranges is equal to the selling price of $40$ oranges?

• A. $12.5\%$
• B. $25\%$
• C. $35\%$
• D. $40\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $25\%$

Let the S.P. of $1$ oranges $=$ Rs. $1$

Then, C.P. of $50$ oranges $=$ S.P. of $40$ oranges $=$ Rs. $40$

S.P. of $50$ oranges $=$ Rs. $50$
Profit $=$ Rs. $50-$ Rs. $40=$ Rs. $10$
Profit $\%=$ $(\frac{10}{40}\times 100)$ $\%=25\%$
