C.P. = $95000

S.P. = $280000

a. Profit

= S.P. - C.P.

= $280000 - $95000

= $185000

b. Let the profit% of C.P. be x.

(x/100) × $95000 = $185000

=> x/100 = $185000/$95000

=> x/100 = 37/19

=> x = (37/19) × 100

=> x = 3700/19

=> x = 194 14/19

So, profit percent of buying price is 194 14/19%.

c. Let the profit% of S.P. be x.

(x/100) × $280000 = $185000

=> x/100 = $185000/$280000

=> x/100 = 37/56

=> x = (37/56) × 100

=> x = 3700/56

=> x = 925/14

=> x = 16 1/14

So, profit percent of selling price is 16 1/14%.

d. Buying price percentage profit sounds better as far as Ella is concerned.
