Ella bought a 2 bedroom unit 12 years ago for $95 000 and recently sold it for $280 000 (after deducting selling costs). a) Find the profit.
b) Find the profit as a percentage of the buying price.
c) Find the profit as a percentage of the selling price.
d) Which percentage profit sounds better as far as Ella is concerned?

pls explain, thanks​

C.P. = $95000

S.P. = $280000

a. Profit

= S.P. - C.P.

= $280000 - $95000

= $185000

b. Let the profit% of C.P. be x.

(x/100) × $95000 = $185000

=> x/100 = $185000/$95000

=> x/100 = 37/19

=> x = (37/19) × 100

=> x = 3700/19

=> x = 194 14/19

So, profit percent of buying price is 194 14/19%.

c. Let the profit% of S.P. be x.

(x/100) × $280000 = $185000

=> x/100 = $185000/$280000

=> x/100 = 37/56

=> x = (37/56) × 100

=> x = 3700/56

=> x = 925/14

=> x = 16 1/14

So, profit percent of selling price is 16 1/14%.

d. Buying price percentage profit sounds better as far as Ella is concerned.

step-by-step explanation:

so first find out how much each is worth.

quarter= 25 cents

dime= 10 cents

pennies= 1 cent

then multiply each by how much each is worth.

200                     150                   300

x                         x                     x   1

  25                       10              

                                  300

1000                     1500

+                          

4000                                      

5000                                  

then count 2 from the back and add a period.

$50.00

$15.00

$3.00

and then add them

  $50.00

+

  $15.00

+

    $3.00

$68.00

so sunghee has $68.00
