A.

25%

B.

15%

C.

11%

D.

20%

Correct option is A

Given:

Selling 55 toffees gives profit equal to 11 toffees

Formula Used:

Profit % = ProfitCost Price×100 \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}} \times 100​​

Solution: 

Implies cost price (CP) = cost of 55 - 11 = 44 toffees

Selling price (SP) = cost of 55 toffees

Profit = SP - CP = cost of 11 toffees

Profit % = 1144×100=25% \frac{11}{44} \times 100 = 25\%​​
