Question

The cost price of an article is 95% of its selling price. Find the percentage of profit or loss.

A.

5% loss

B.

5% profit

C.

5.26% profit

D.

5.5% loss

Correct option is C

Given:

CP = 95% of SP
Let SP = 100 (assume for simplicity)
Then, CP = 95

Formula:

Profit = SP − CP
Profit% = (Profit / CP) × 100

Solution:

SP = 100
CP = 95
Profit = 100 − 95 = 5

Profit% = (5 / 95) × 100 = 5.26%

Final Answer:

(C) 5.26% profit
