Part A

profit = revenue - cost
profit = 350 - 275
profit = 75

====================================================
Part B

Profit percentage = (profit/cost)*100%
Profit percentage = (75/275)*100%
Profit percentage = (0.2727)*100%
Profit percentage = 27.27%

The value is approximate.
This says that roughly 27.27% of the cost is profit.
