C Correct answer
Explanation

Let CP = C. First SP = 0.95C. New CP = 0.9C, new SP = 0.95C + 33. Profit on new: (0.95C + 33 - 0.9C)/0.9C = 0.30. So (0.05C + 33) = 0.27C, giving 0.22C = 33, C = 150. Verifying: CP = 150, first SP = 142.5 (5% loss). New scenario: CP = 135, SP = 175.5, profit = 40.5 which is 30% of 135.
