Question

57. A shopkeeper got a
keeper got a profit of 975 by selling a laptop at 6.5% profit. What percent
profit would he get, if he increases the selling price by 225?
the answer is 8% but how pls solve my questions ​

Answer 1

Answer:

C.p = (100 *975)/6.5 = 15000

If he increases selling price by 225, the profit will also increase by 225 so the profit in this case will be (975+225)=1200

Then the profit percent will be (1200*100%)/15000=8%
