40% profit

Step by step Explanation:

Profit percentage

= (profit/cost price) * 100

0.2 = profit/cost

10+15+20+25+30 = 100

Let's assume the cost price of the items is $1 each

Cost price total = $100

Profit made when buyer of 20 toffe didn't say was

0.2=profit/cost

0.2*100 = $20

If the$ 20 paid.

Total profit = $40

So percentage profit now

40/100 * 100 = 40%
