    Cost price of a TV set = $900

    Selling price of this TV set = $1125

    Since Selling price > Cost Price, Alex had a profit.

    Profit earned by Alex :

    = \tt \: Selling \: price - Cost \: price

    = \tt1125 - 900

    =\tt \$225

    Thus, the profit Alex made = $225

    We know that :

    \color{hotpink}\tt \: Profit \: percentage =\color{plum} \frac{profit \times 100}{cost \: price}

    Percentage of profit alex earned :

    = \tt \frac{225 \times 100}{900}

    =\tt \frac{22500}{900}

    \color{plum}= \tt25\%

    Thus profit percentage = 25%

    Therefore, percentage of profit Alex earned by selling the TV set = 25%
