Q:

In a certain Business, the profit is 220% 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 ?

A) 61% B) 75%
C) 55% D) 81%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 61%

Explanation:

Let C.P.= Rs. 100.

Then, Profit = Rs.220, 

S.P. = Rs.320.

 

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125 

New S.P. = Rs.320.

Profit = Rs. (320 - 125) = Rs. 195

 

Required percentage = 195320×100== 60.9 =~ 61%
