Correct Answer: 100 percent
Solution : Let's the cost price of the fan as CP and the selling price as SP ⇒ 40% × SP = $\frac{4}{5}$×CP ⇒ 0.4 × SP = $\frac{4}{5}$ × CP Now, let's solve for the selling price SP: ⇒ SP = $\frac{\frac{4}{5}×CP}{0.4}$ = $\frac{4}{5}$ × $\frac{1}{0.4}$ × CP = 2 × CP ⇒ Profit Percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling Price − Cost Price}}{\text{cost price}}$×100 = $\frac{2 × CP – CP}{CP}$×100 = $\frac{CP}{CP}$×100 = 100% Hence, the correct answer is 100%.
