Question

If i buy a shirt at the rate 318rs and sells the same at 699rs .What will be the %

Answer 1

cost price = 318
selling price = 699
profit = 699 - 318
         = 381
profit % = profit × 100 / C.P
             =381 × 100 / 318
             = 119.8%

Answer 2

699/318 x 100
2.1981 x 100
219.81% 

profit percent will be:

699-318= 381
381/318
=1.198
x 100
=119.8% of original price.
