Because we have only two prices and cost does not change, we must assume that the first price of $440 is the one in which profit = 10% of cost ($440 yields cost)
Profit = TR - TC
Profit also = 0.10 C. Put this term on LHS
So \(.10C = TR - TC\)
\(1.10C = TR\)
for the initial sell price before the increase
1) First sell price (TR) yields the cost
Sell price = TR = $440
From above: \(TR = 1.10C\)
\($440 = 1.1 C\)
\(C = $400\)
Cost does not change.
2) New sell price (the increase) = $460
TR - TC = Profit
Profit: \(($460 - $400) = $60\)
3) Profit ($60) from new sell price is what percent of cost ($400)?
\(\frac{$60}{$400}*100= (.15*100) = 15\) %

old selling price: 440
New selling price : 460
(440/120)*100 = 400 = cost price
Profit after increasing the selling price 440 to 460 : 60 - 400 = 60
profit % : (60 / 400)*100 = 15%.
The best answer is D.
