1. A shopkeeper buys an item for $100 and sells it for $130. Calculate the percentage profit.

Profit = $130 − $100 = $30. Percentage profit = ($30 ÷ $100) × 100% = 30%.
2. A shopkeeper buys an item for $400 and sells it for $440. Calculate the percentage profit.
10%
Profit = $440 − $400 = $40. Percentage profit = ($40 ÷ $400) × 100% = 10%.
3. A shopkeeper buys an item for $20 and sells it for $22. Calculate the percentage profit.
10%
Profit = $22 − $20 = $2. Percentage profit = ($2 ÷ $20) × 100% = 10%.
4. 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%.
5. A shopkeeper buys an item for $260 and sells it for $390. Calculate the percentage profit.

50%
Profit = $60 − $40 = $20. Percentage profit = ($20 ÷ $40) × 100% = 50%.
7. A shopkeeper buys an item for $180 and sells it for $270. Calculate the percentage profit.
50%
Profit = $270 − $180 = $90. Percentage profit = ($90 ÷ $180) × 100% = 50%.
8. A shopkeeper buys an item for $340 and sells it for $374. Calculate the percentage profit.
10%
Profit = $374 − $340 = $34. Percentage profit = ($34 ÷ $340) × 100% = 10%.
