Answer 2

Answer: Profit=2.5 of original price and Profit%=250%

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the original price at which she bought the share be Rs.x.
• Price at which she sells the share= Rs.3.5x.
• Profit=Rs.(3.5x-x)

                 =Rs.2.5x

• Profit%=$\frac{2.5x}{x}*100$

                    =$\frac{25}{10}*100$

                    =250%

• Hence,the profit in this transaction is 250%.
