Answer:
c. 100%
Step-by-step explanation:
profit or loss = (sale price – purchase price)/(purchase price) * 100%
profit or loss = (Rs. 300 – Rs. 150)/(Rs. 150) * 100%
profit or loss = (Rs. 150)/(Rs. 150) * 100%
profit or loss = 1 * 100% = 100%
Since the result is positive it is a profit.
Answer: The profit was 100%.
