1. **Stating the problem:** A flower-girl buys roses at the rate of 4 rupees for 5 roses and sells them at 5 rupees for 4 roses. We need to find her profit percent.
2. **Understanding the problem:**
- Cost Price (CP) per rose = Total cost / Number of roses bought
- Selling Price (SP) per rose = Total selling price / Number of roses sold
- Profit = SP - CP
- Profit percent = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}} \times 100$
3. **Calculate Cost Price per rose:**
$$\text{CP per rose} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8$$ rupees
4. **Calculate Selling Price per rose:**
$$\text{SP per rose} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25$$ rupees
5. **Calculate profit per rose:**
$$\text{Profit} = \text{SP} - \text{CP} = 1.25 - 0.8 = 0.45$$ rupees
6. **Calculate profit percent:**
$$\text{Profit percent} = \frac{0.45}{0.8} \times 100 = 56.25\%$$
**Final answer:** The flower-girl's profit percent is **56.25%**.
