      cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit
      A 70% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 80% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 90% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D None of above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      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 = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295 Required percentage = (295/420) * 100 = 70%(approx)
