Answer:
260%
Step-by-step explanation:
For the coffee;
cost price ([tex]C_{P}[/tex]) = $5/kg
selling price ([tex]S_{P}[/tex]) = $18/kg
Percentage profit (%P) = [tex]\frac{S_P - C_P}{C_P} * 100%[/tex] %
Substitute the right values into the above;
%P = [tex]\frac{18 - 5}{5} * 100%[/tex] %
%P = [tex]\frac{13}{5} * 100%[/tex] %
%P = 260%
Therefore, the percentage profit compared to the original cost of the coffee is 260%
