In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit? Pick one.
A) 30% B) 70% C) 100% D) 250% E) 200%
Explanation:   Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420.   New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125   New S.P. = Rs. 420.   Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295.   Required percentage =(295/420 x 100)%=(1475/21)%=70%(approximately).   ANSWER IS 70%
