Answer:

I'm going to assume the # is meant $, if that is the case then the trader made 8% profit

Explanation:

200 out of 2500 is basically 200/2500. 200 divided by 2500 is 0.08, and to find the percent of a number you have to multiply it by ten (or just move the decimal two places to the right) 0.08 multiplied by 10 would give you 8, so the answer is 8 percent. Hope this helps!
