Before, finding the answer. Let's find out how we can find the answer.

• In this question, we are asked to find the Profit percent.

Given :

• Cost Price = Rs. 1500
• Selling Price = Rs. 1650

To find :

• Profit percent

Solution :

⇒ First, we have to find the Profit.

Profit = S.P - C.P

        = 1650 - 1500

        = 150

⇒ Now, we can find the Profit Percent.

⇒ Here, we have to multiply the profit by 100. And then divide it by the Cost Price of the Cell phone.

Profit Percent = Profit × 100/Cost Price

                       = 150 × 100/1500

                       = 15000/1500

                       = 10%

Therefore, the profit percent of the cell phone is 10%.
