Company P’s profit this year was what percent of its profit last year?
Let Company P’s profit this year = y
Let Company P’s profit last year = x
y/x=?
S1
x+y=15000
No info on y/x
Insufficient
S2
y=5000
No info on x
Insufficient
Combined y = 5000 and x = 15000-5000 =10000
y/x * 100 = 5000/10000 = 1/2 * 100 = 50%
Sufficient

Company P’s profit this year was what percent of its profit last year?
To find this we, need the values of profit This year and Last year.
Or alteast the profit of either This year or Last year along with the combined profits (this year + last year) .
Or alteast the profit of either This year or Last year along with the difference of profits (this year ~ last year) .
Statement 1:
(1) Company P’s total profit for this year and last year combined was $15,000.
Combined value is given. But, individual values are not provided.
Hence, Insufficient
Statement 2:
(2) This year, Company P’s profit was $5,000.
Only one parameter is given. We don’t have any other data to arrive with.
Hence, insufficient
Combining both Statements 1 and 2, we have the value of this yr profit along with the combined profit (This yr + Last yr). We can get individual values. So the question : Company P’s profit this year was what percent of its profit last year? is answerable.
Hence, sufficient.
Option C
