3. A shopkeeper buys an item for $120 and sells it for $138. Calculate the percentage profit.
15%
Profit = $138 − $120 = $18. Percentage profit = ($18 ÷ $120) × 100% = 15%.
4. A shopkeeper buys an item for $180 and sells it for $207. Calculate the percentage profit.
15%
Profit = $207 − $180 = $27. Percentage profit = ($27 ÷ $180) × 100% = 15%.
