Marvin bought video games at a standard price of $40 per video game. If he sold all video games that he bought at same price of $X each, what percentage profit did he make in this transaction?
(1) Instead of $X, if he had sold each video game at a price of $X/2, with the same cost price of $40, he would have incurred a loss of 37.5% in this transaction.
(2) Instead of $X, if he had sold each video game at a price of $(2*X), with the same cost price of $40, he would have gained 150% in this transaction.
From the question stem, we have the cost price of each video game.
We are told the price at which he sells each video game - $X
1. If he sold the video game at $X/2, he would have incurred a loss
of 37.5%. With this information and the cost price presented in the
question stem, we can find the value of X.
(Sufficient)2. If he sold the video game at $2X, he would have gained an overall
profit of 150%. With this information and the cost price presented in the
question stem, we can find the value of X.
(Sufficient - Option D)
