    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the cost price of the smartphone be Rs. '100x'

    Marked price of the smartphone = '100x' X 2.1 = Rs. '210x'

    Selling price of the smartphone = '210x' X 0.65 = Rs. '136.5x'

    Profit earned on selling the smartphone = '136.5x' - '100x' = Rs. '36.5x'

    Required profit percentage = {(36.5x/100x) X 100} = 36.5%
