Given:

Cost price (CP) of the motorbike = Rs. 4675

Expenses on repair = Rs. 225

Selling price (SP) of the motorbike = Rs. 5390

Formula:

Profit percent = [(SP - CP - Repair expenses) / Total CP] × 100

Calculation:

Profit percent = [(5390 - 4675 - 225) / (4675 + 225)] × 100

Profit percent = [(5390 - 4900) / 4900] × 100

Profit percent = (490 / 4900) × 100

Profit percent = 10%

Sonam's profit percent on the motorbike is 10%.
