Correct Answer: 12.5%
Solution : Let's the cost price of the desktop as $C$, the profit as $P$, and the selling price as $S$ Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit ⇒ $S = 9P$ ⇒ $C + P = 9P$ ⇒ $C = 8P$ So, Profit % = $\frac{Profit}{Cost Price}$×100 = $\frac{P}{8P}$ ×100 = 12.5% Hence, the correct answer is 12.5%.
