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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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%
