    A man bought a mobile phone for $800 and sold it for $1000. What was his profit as a percentage of the cost price

    Calculate Profit:
    Profit = Sales Price - Cost
    Profit = 1000 - 800
    Profit = 200

    Calculate profit percentage:
    Profit Percentage = Profit * 100 / Cost
    Profit Percentage = 800 * 100 / 200
    Profit Percentage = 400%
