For these problems use formula

profit on SP =x%    then profit on CP= x /(100-x) :

profit on CP =x%    then profit on SP= x /(100+x);

here profit on CP=25/(100-25)

                           =25/75

                            =.3333

% gain on CP is 33.33%

RE: Selling a car gains 25% on SP.what %gain on CP.
Let SP be 100
so 25 is the profit now
so 75 is the CP
so (25/75)*100 33.33 is the gain on CP

RE: Selling a car gains 25% on SP. What %gain on CP?

Answer: 33.33


If suppose sp is 100 (assume)

Then gain is 25 ..

Then subtract it from sp we will get cp i.e 100-25 75 .

We know two basic formulas gain (gain/cp)*100 . or loss (loss/cp)*100.

So gain (25/75)*100 33.33
