Profit is 320% of cost price, if cost price is increased by 25% and selling price remains constant, then what % of selling price is the profit?

• let cost price be x rs then
  
  profit= x*320/100 = 3.2x
  
  selling price = x+3.2x = 4.2x
  
  after increasing in costprice by 25%,
  new CP = x+x*25/100 = 1.25x & SP = 4.2x
  profit=SP-CP= 4.2x-1.25x = 2.95x
  
  reqd %age = 2.95x/4.2x *100 = 70.24 %
  
  so, 70.24 % of SP the profit is 70.24 % of SP.

• If Rs 100 is CP, then SP = Rs 420
  new CP= Rs 125.
  profit = 420-125= Rs 295
  % profit wrt SP =100*295/420= 70.24%
