A man gains $15 \%$ by selling a calculator for a certain price. If he sells it at the triple the price, then what will be the profit percentage?

A

$125$

B

$175$

C

$225$

D

$245$

Solution

Let $C.P =₹ 100$

$\therefore S.P =₹ 115$

If $S.P$ triples $=₹ 115 \times 3=₹ 345$

$\therefore$ Profit$\%$ $=\frac{345-100}{100} \times 100=245 \%$
