Correct option is D
Let the cost price of one samosa be C and the selling price of one samosa be S.
- According to the given information, the selling price of 76 samosas is the same as the cost price of 95 samosas. Therefore, we can write the equation:
76S = 95C
- Solving for the selling price in terms of the cost price:
S = (95/76)C
- The profit per samosa is the difference between the selling price and the cost price:
Profit per samosa = S - C = (95/76)C - C = ((95/76) - 1)C = (19/76)C
- The profit percentage is given by the formula:
Profit Percentage = (Profit per samosa / Cost price per samosa) × 100
- Substituting the value of the profit per samosa:
Profit Percentage = ((19/76)C / C) × 100 = (19/76) × 100 = 25%
