Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420. New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125 New S.P. = Rs. 420. Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295. Required percentage = 295 x 100 % = 1475 % = 70% (approximately). 420 21 ans=70%

simple technique...let CP=100, then SP=100+320=420; now CP=125, SP=420, profit=420-125=295, proft % =(295/420)*100=approx. 70
