Solution:
1. Given:
- Manufacturer's Profit: USD 146.14
- Store Price: USD 204.60
2. Calculate the profit percentage using the formula:
- Profit Percentage = \left( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}} \right) \times 100 \%
3. The store price is taken as the cost price in this context. Thus, the profit percentage is:
- Profit Percentage = \left( \frac{146.14}{204.60} \right) \times 100 \%
4. Simplify and calculate the profit percentage:
- Profit Percentage = \left( 0.714 \right) \times 100 \%
- Profit Percentage = 71.46 \%
