Home » Aptitude » Profit and Loss » Question

A store sells a watch for a profit of 25% of its cost price. Then the percentage of profit against selling price is :

Let the C.P. of the watch be Rs. 100.
∴ Its S.P. = Rs. 125
If S.P. > C.P. , then
Profit = S.P. - C.P. = 125 - 100 = Rs. 25

∴ Profit percent on its S.P. =	Profit	× 100
	S.P.

Profit percent on its S.P. =	25	× 100 = 20%
	125
