A trader sold an article at a loss of $5 %$ but when he increased the selling price by Rs. $65$ he gained $3.33 %$ on the cost price. If he sells the same article at Rs. $936$ , what is the profit percentage?

Change in percentage = 3.33+5=8.33%
change in price = Rs 65
The percentage if he sells for Rs 65 is = 8.33%
The percentage if sells for Rs 1 $= \frac{8.33}{65}$
The percentage if he sells for Rs 936 = $\frac{8.33}{65} \times 936$

$= 120$ %
