Answers

  1. The percentage profit is 140%

    What is percentage?

    Percentage can be described as the expression of a number in hundredth.

    The formula for calculating percentage profit is

    profit/cost price × 100

    cost price=  $50
    selling price= $15
    number of mats produced= 8

    selling price of the mat= 15 × 8
    = 120

    Profit= selling price-cost price

    = 120-50
    $70

    Therefore the percentage profit can be calculated as follows

    = 70/50 × 100
    = 1.4 ×100
    = 140

    Thus, the percentage profit is 140%
