alleryProfit is 320% of cost. If cost rises 25% but selling price stays constant, what % of selling price is profit (approx.)?
A30%
B70%
C100%
D250%
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 70%
1. Let cost = 100. Profit = 320, so SP = 420.
2. New cost = 125. New profit = 420 − 125 = 295.
3. 295 / 420 ≈ 0.702 = 70%.
