Hi, guys, could you please help me to map out the picture for the question below:

A store bought a product with a recommended retail price of $150. The store sold the product at a 40% discount from the recommended retail price and made a 150% profit on its wholesale cost. What was the store’s profit as a percentage of the recommended retail price ?

A. 10%
B. 24%
C. 36%
D. 40%
E. 60%

So my question says, that store A was selling to store B some product at 150$ price each, which original price was 90$? And since cost of the product didn’t change, percentage of profit changed from 90/56*100 to 150/56*100, am I wrong here?

This question is discused here:

Hope it helps.

Let the no be x.
And if she multiples it by 100 the resultant will also have 3 digits.
So, 100≤ 100x≤ 999.
Simplfy this, you should get the ans.
Sofia could choose any number between 100 and 999

But 100*100 is 10,000 which is a 5 digit number

Maybe the wording of the question is weird? It might mean something like 3 different digits. Because otherwise the question doesn’t make any sense

Yes but it has 3 digits in it.

As per the question...the ans has 3 digits.
Not only 3 digits

According to you as per the question the number that she can choose also has 3 digits, so she could basically choose any number with 3 or more digits

The question was also about the answer that has 3 digits. You’re applying the same logic in different manner to 2 things
