600% -100% original cost = 500%? I don't really see how to make such a thing. it's sorta like 'a bucket is 5 gallons, there's a 3 feet snow serpent from a planet 3 times farther out than mars is from venus on a friday at noon, how big is a bucket?' sorta question, I'd think.

If you think it's 600% this is how you work it out:
100%= the initial price
100×6 = all the price=600
600(all the price)- 100= profits= 500

Now that's correct starting from 100% being the initial price.

If you consider the end price 100%, the profit percentage would be about 85%

@Miram Good way of thinking.

@summerlove did you change 7 to 6? 😕
summerlove · 31-35, F
@Miram No. I was just confused how to work out the answer.

Selling price is 6 times cost price. Which means profit is 6-1 = 5 times the cost price.

5 times means 500%.
