Correct Answer: 44.44%


Solution : Given,
A mobile phone is sold at a profit of 80%.
We know, Selling price = $\frac{100+\text{profit percentage}}{100}$ × cost price
Let the cost price of the phone be Rs. 100
The selling price at a profit of 80% is Rs. 180
Profit with respect to the selling price = $\frac{180-100}{180}\times100$ = 44.44%
Hence, the correct answer is 44.44%.
