Solution

The problem states that the cost price of an article is 35/100 (or 0.35) of its selling price. This means that the selling price is higher than the cost price, indicating a profit situation.

Let's denote the selling price as S. According to the problem, the cost price (C) is 0.35S.

The profit (P) is calculated as the selling price (S) minus the cost price (C). So, P = S - C.

Substituting the given values, we get P = S - 0.35S = 0.65S.

The profit percentage is calculated as (Profit / Cost price) * 100. Substituting the given values, we get (0.65S / 0.35S) * 100 = 185.71%.
