Answer:


Profit\% = 25\%

Explanation:

Given

Let the cost price be x

The profit be y

Required

Determine the profit percentage:

According to the question; profit = 1/4 of cost price.

So:


y =(1)/(4)x

The percentage profit is then calculated as:


Profit\% = (Profit)/(Cost\ Price) * 100\%

This gives:


Profit\% = (Profit)/(Cost\ Price) * 100\%

Substitute values for profit and cost price


Profit\% = ((1)/(4)x)/(x) * 100\%


Profit\% = (1)/(4) * 100\%


Profit\% = (1 * 100\%)/(4)


Profit\% = 25\%
