1/4 of Selling Price = 1/3 rd of Cost Price

So answer is  33.33%

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%

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
