In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit? |
|
Answer» 70% Let C.P. = RS. 100. Then, profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420 New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125. New S.P. = Rs. 420 Profit = 420 - 125 = Rs. 295 Required percentage = 295/420 * 100 = 1475/21 = 70% |
