    b. 20
    c. 25
    d. 30

    Ans:- 25
    profit is always calculated on cost price
    so, c.p=4 , s.p=5
    Profit=s.p-c.p, 5-4=1
    profit %= profit/cost price * 100, then, 1/4*100= 25

    Type 2:- If on selling 12 notebooks a seller makes a profit equal to selling price
    of 4 notebook, what is his profits percentage?

    b. 25
    c. 50
    d. None of these

    Ans:-50

    if there is profit on selling item = selling price of an article


    To find profit %, simply minus 12 from 4= 8

    Profit % = 4/8*100=50

    Type 3:- A vender loses the selling price of 4 oranges on selling 36 oranges his
    loss percentage is?
    a. 10
    b. 11.1/9
    c. 12.1/2
    d. None of these

    12 toffee for rs 1 loss 20% then
    c.p = 1*100/80 = 5/4 on this price we have to gain profit of 20%
