If the profit is 25% of the cost price then it isa)25% of the sales pr...
Concept:
Profit is calculated as the difference between the selling price and the cost price of the product.
Profit percentage is calculated as:
Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost price) x 100
Given that the profit is 25% of the cost price.
Let the cost price of the product be 'x'.
Profit = 25% of x = 0.25x
Selling price = Cost price + Profit = x + 0.25x = 1.25x
Calculation:
We need to find the profit percentage on the selling price.
Let us assume the selling price is 'y'.
Profit = Selling price - Cost price = y - x
Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost price) x 100
= [(y - x)/x] x 100
We know that Selling price = 1.25x
Substituting the value of selling price in the above equation, we get:
Profit percentage = [(1.25x - x)/x] x 100
= (0.25x/x) x 100
= 25%
Therefore, the profit percentage on the selling price is 20%.
Answer: c) 20% of the sales price
