A shopkeeper buys 10 fans and sells 8 fans at the cost price of 10 fans. What is the profit percentage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Correct answer is option 1 i.e. 25%

Given that

The selling price of 8 fans = The cost price of 10 fans

S.P./C.P. = 10/8 = 5/4

Profit % =  [(S.P - C.P)/C.P.] × 100

Calculation

Profit % = [(5 - 4)/4] × 100 = 100/4 = 25%
