If Price is 135, and Cost is 95

is my profit 42.1% :::: ( 135-95) / 95 ?

or is it 29.63% ::::: ( 135-95)/135 ?

I think that your profit is 29.63% = ( 135-95)/135 * 100

42.1%

It cost you 95, you sold it for 135 so you made 135 - 95 = 40 profit over and above the initial cost.
As a percentage of your cost this is (40/95) * 100% = 42.1%

OR

135/95 = 1.421 --> 42.1%

This is from (135 - 95) / 95 = (135/95) - 1 = 0.421 0r 42.1% expressed as percentage fraction

42.1% is your total profit.
