Correct Answer: 25%
Solution : Given: The cost price of an article is 80% of the selling price. Let the selling price be $x$. ⇒ Cost price = $0.8 × x$ = $0.8x$ Profit percentage $=\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100$ $=\frac{(x - 0.8x)}{0.8x} × 100$ $=\frac{0.2x}{0.8x}× 100$ $=25$% Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
