Question:

A mobile phone is sold at a profit of 80%. The nominal profit is approximately what percentage of the selling price of the mobile phone?

Options:

33.33%

28.56%

44.44%

36.66%

Correct Answer:

44.44%

Explanation:

Let cost price = 100x

Profit = 80%

So, Selling price = 100x + 80x = 180x 

Now, Profit with respect to selling price = \(\frac{180x - 100x}{180x}\) × 100

= 44.44%
