2. A shopkeeper buys an item for $400 and sells it for $520. Calculate the percentage profit.
30%
Profit = $520 − $400 = $120. Percentage profit = ($120 ÷ $400) × 100% = 30%.
3. A shopkeeper buys an item for $280 and sells it for $336. Calculate the percentage profit.
20%
Profit = $336 − $280 = $56. Percentage profit = ($56 ÷ $280) × 100% = 20%.
4. A shopkeeper buys an item for $320 and sells it for $400. Calculate the percentage profit.
25%
Profit = $400 − $320 = $80. Percentage profit = ($80 ÷ $320) × 100% = 25%.
5. A shopkeeper buys an item for $160 and sells it for $184. Calculate the percentage profit.
