Answer: 30%

Explanation:

First, calculate the difference between the original number and the new number:

1.30 - 1.00 = 0.30

Second, divide the difference by the original number.

0.30/1.00 = 0.3

Third, multiply the answer by 100 to get the percentage. (Remember cent means 100!)

0.3 * 100 = 30

Therefore, the profit per cent was 30%.

Hoped this helped!
