I hope the correct answer isn't '42' because that's the only number I know how to calculate. Guess I'll have to put my math hat on for this one.

Wait, is this a trick question? I feel like I'm about to fall into a 'profit/volume' ratio black hole. Time to use my best logical thinking skills.

I bet the exam creator is just trying to trip us up with all these percentages. But no worries, I've got this! Profit/volume ratio, here I come.

Okay, so the selling price is reduced by 10%, and the variable cost is increased by 12.5%. Time to break out the calculator and crunch some numbers!
