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?  

A    30%

B    70%

C    100%

D    250%

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

 

Let,

 C.P.=  100 TK Then, Profit =  320  TK  S.P. = 420 TK

New C.P. = 125% of  100 TK =  125 TK New S.P. =  420 TK

Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) =  295  TK

Required percentage = (295/420) * 100  = 70%(approx)
