If an article is sold at 200% profit, then the ratio of its cost price to its selling price will be

Suppose C.P. = $ 100
S.P. = $ 300 [gain being 200%]
∴ Required ratio = 1 : 3
We can find required answer with the help of given formula :

∴		C.P.	=	100
		S.P.		100 + profit%

C.P.	=	100
C.P.		100 + 200

Required ratio =	100	= 1 : 3
	300
