If the cost price of a book is 92% of its selling price, then what is the percentage profit on the sale of the book (correct up to two decimal places)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 8.69%.

Let the S.P. be Rs.100

The cost price of a book is 92% of its selling price

Then, C.P. = Rs.92

Profit = 100 - 92 = Rs.8

Profit percentage = 8/92 × 100 = 8.69%
