Given that the cost price of 20 items equals the selling price of x items, and the profit percentage is 25%, determine the value of x.

  1. 14

  2. 16

  3. 12

  4. 18

Answer: B

Solution

Solution: Assume the cost price of one item is 100. At 25% profit, its selling price is 125. The cost price of 20 items is 2000, so \(125x=2000\Rightarrow x=16\). Trick: \(x=\frac{20\times100}{125}=16\).
