1. Answer:

   100%

   Step-by-step explanation:

   a= c.p and b= s.p

   if s.p or b is 200% of a or c.p, then

   s.p= 200% of c.p

   = (200× a or c.p)/100

   =2a

   so s.p= double of cost price

   now as s.p = 2a

   and ç.p= a

   the profit= s.p-c.p

   profit= 2a- a= a

   now to find profit %

   profit % = (profit/c.p)× 100%

   profit %= ( a/a)× 100%

   profit %=100%
