If the $CP$ of $50$ items is equal $SP$ of $40$ items then what is the profit or loss $\% ?$

A

$20$

B

$15$

C

$25$

D

$35$

Solution

As, $CP$ of $50$ items $=$ $SP$ of $40$ items

$\Rightarrow 50 \times( CP$ of $1$ item $)=40 \times( SP$ of $1$ item $)$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{ CP \text { of } 1 \text { item }}{\text { SP of } 1 \text { item }}=\frac{40}{50}=\frac{4}{5}$

Profit$\%$ $=\frac{S P-C P}{C P}=\frac{5-4}{4} \times 100=25 \%$
