Aditi sold her scooter for ₹40675, thereby earning a profit equal to 151\over5 of the selling price. Find the profit percentage.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is  option 2  i.e.  25%.

Selling Price (SP) = ₹40675

Profit = 1/5 of SP = 40675 ÷ 5 = ₹8135

Cost Price (CP) = SP - Profit = 40675 - 8135 = ₹32540

Profit % = (Profit ÷ CP) × 100 = (8135 ÷ 32540) × 100 = 25%
