            It is to replace incorrect calculations by @josgarithmetic.



<pre>
Mrs. Jones spent  $7.50.


She gained  12*0.60 + (25-12)*0.55  dollars =  $14.35.


Since she gained more than she spent, she made a profit.


The percentage profit is  {{{((14.35-7.50)/7.50)*100}}} = 91 {{{1/3}}} %,  or  91.33%  rounded.

Solved.
