Correct Answer: $\frac{200}{3}\%$
Solution : Let the cost price of one box as C and the selling price of one box as S. Given that the selling price of 9 boxes is equal to the cost price of 15 boxes. ⇒ 9S = 15C ⇒ S = $\frac{15}{9}$C = $\frac{5}{3}$C This means the selling price is $\frac{5}{3}$ times the cost price. Profit = Selling price – Cost price = $\frac{5}{3}$C – C = $\frac{2}{3}$C Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}$ × 100 = $\frac{\text{2}}{\text{3}}$ × 100 = $\frac{\text{200}}{\text{3}}\%$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\text{200}}{\text{3}}\%$.
