The cost of the phone is 2000
The expenditure is 200
Therefore the total cost price of the phone is  Orignal CP + Expenditure
                                                                        =2000+200=2200
 The selling price of the phone is 2500
Therefore the profit is  SP- Total CP
​                                     =2500-2200=300

Therefore profit percent is  {(Profit/CP) *100}%
                                           ={300/2200 *100}%
                                           =13.63%
ANS- The profit percent on the whole deal is 13.63% with the profit of 300.

Cost of cell phone = Rs. 2000
Cost of it's body (case) = Rs. 200
Total cost  of cell phone = Rs. 2000 + Rs. 200
                                       = Rs. 2200
Selling prize = Rs. 2500
Profit = selling prize - cost prize
          = 2500 - 2200
          = Rs 300
Percentage of profit = 300/100
                                 = 3%                  [answer]
