Correct Answer: Profit rate is 25%
Explanation:
Suppose, buying price of of 5 mangoes Tk. 1
Price of 5 mangoes in Tk. 1
Price of 1 mangoe in Tk $\frac{1}{5}$
Again, selling price of 4 mangoes is Tk. 1
selling price of 1 mangoes is $\frac{1}{4}$
Profit = $\frac{1}{4} – \frac{1}{5}$
= $\frac{1}{20}$
Tk. $\frac{1}{5}$ makes profit = Tk. 20
Tk. 100 makes profit = Tk. $\frac{1\cdot4\cdot100}{20\cdot1}$
= Tk. 25
So, Profit rate is 25%
