Question Stats:

0% (00:00) correct 0% (00:00) wrong based on 0 sessions
This is a problem from Kaplan Practice Test :

A TV salesman makes a profit of 25 percent on all sales. How many TVs will he have to sell for $ 325 each to make a totl profit of atlest $200 ?

Kaplan argues that

since profit is 25% of 325 ( little over $80 per tv) he has to sell 3 tv sets to cross $200 mark ..

But can we calculate profit on selling price ?

If he sells a tv set for $325 and makes a 25% profit, he must have bought it for

(100/125) * 325 = $ 260

that means , he makes a profit of $65 per tv he sells ..
So to cross $200 mark, he must sell at least 4 TV sets ..

Any comments ??

to me, making a 25% profit in a sale of 100$ is to make a profit of 25$
