Question : The ratio of the selling price to the cost price is 9 : 8. What is the profit percentage?
Option 1: 15 percent
Option 2: 12.5 percent
Option 3: 20 percent
Option 4: 10.5 percent
Correct Answer: 12.5 percent
Solution :
Difference between the selling price (SP) and the cost price (CP)
⇒ Profit= SP − CP
Let SP = 9 and CP = 8 (from the ratio)
Profit = 9 – 8 = 1
Profit% = $\frac{1}{8}$×100
= 12.5%
Hence, the correct answer is 12.5%.
