%’ge profit = Profit   X  100    [where B. P. represents Buying Price.]
                      B.P.

%’ge profit = 500   X  100   
                    7500

%’ge profit = 51   X  100   
                    7515

%’ge profit = 100   
                      15

%’ge profit = 610/15%   

%’ge profit = 62/3%
