Question
A shopkeeper sells an article at 20% profit. If the cost
price of the article is increased by 25% and the shopkeeper sells the article at the same selling price, what will be his new profit or loss percentage?Solution

Profit or loss = Selling Price - New Cost Price = ₹120 - ₹125 = -₹5 (loss). Loss percentage = (Loss / New Cost Price) × 100 = (5 / 125) × 100 = 4%. Correct answer: b) 4% loss
