Answer Posted / sheik

s.p=76
pro=52
c.p=s.p * 100/(100+pro%) this is formula to find c.p
c.p=76 * 100 /(100+52)
c.p =50 cost price of article
now
s.p = 75
c.p = 50
then wat pro %

c.p * (100+pro) /100 =s.p
substitute values
50 * (100 + pro ) /100 = 75
100+pro = 75 *100 /50
100 +pro =150
pro = 150 - 100
pro = 50 %
ans is 50%
