Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

s.p = N6900

%profit = 15%

%profit = \(\frac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}\) x 100%

15% = \(\frac{6900 - c.p}{c.p}\) x 100%

\(\frac{15}{100}\)c.p = N6900 - c.p

0.15 c.p = N6900 - c.p

1.15c.p + c.p = N6900

c.p = \(\frac{6900}{1.15}\)

= 6000.00

Now new S.P = N6600

profit = s.p - c.p = 6000 - 6600

= 600

%profit = \(\frac{600}{6600}\) x 100%

= 10%
