Question : An article was sold at a certain price. Had it been sold at $\frac{4}{5}$ of that price, there would have been a loss of 10%. At what profit percentage was the article sold initially?
Option 1: 10.5
Option 2: 15
Option 3: 12.5
Option 4: 10
Correct Answer: 12.5
Solution : Let the initial selling price = 100 New selling price = $\frac{4}{5} × 100$ = 80 So, according to the question, cost price = $\frac{100}{90}$ × 80 = $\frac{800}{9}$ Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{selling price - cost price}}{\text{cost price}}$ × 100 = $\frac{100 - \frac{800}{9}}{\frac{800}{9}}$ × 100 = $\frac{100}{800}$ × 100 = 12.5% Hence, the correct answer is 12.5.
