10%

12.5%

11.11%

8.33%

- To solve this, let's assume:

- Cost Price (CP) = x

- Profit = p

- Selling Price (SP) = x + p

- Given, Selling Price is 9 times the profit:

- x + p = 9p

- Rearranging gives, x = 8p

- Profit Percentage is calculated as:

- \((\text{Profit} / \text{Cost Price}) \times 100\)

- \((p / (8p)) \times 100 = 12.5%\)

- So, the correct option is:

- Option: 2 - 12.5%
