A weaver bought a bundle of grass for $ 50.00 from which he made 8 mats. If each mat was sold for $ 15.00, find the percentage profit.
240%
140%
120%
40%

Explanation

cost price = $50

Selling price = 15 * 8 = $120

percentage profit = \(\frac{sp-cp}{cp}\) * 100 →  \(\frac{120-50}{50}\) * 100

percentage profit = 70 * 2 → 140%
