If the cost price is of the selling price, then what is the profit percent?

If the cost price is \( 96 \% \) of the selling price, then what is the profit percent?

  • A. \( 5.72 \% \)
  • B. \( 3.72 \% \)
  • C. \( 8.92 \% \)
  • D. \( 4.17 \% \)

Step-by-step solution

Let SP be 100. Then CP = 96% of SP = 96. Profit = SP - CP = 4. Profit percent = (Profit/CP) × 100 = (4/96) × 100 = 4.1667% ≈ 4.17%.
