Formula used

Profit = Selling price - Purchase price

Profit percentage = [tex]\frac{profit}{cost price} (100)[/tex]

According to the question,

Total number of shares = 25

Purchase price of one share =  9.85 dollars

Selling price of 1 share = 11.22 dollars

Therefore,

Purchase price of 25 shares = (9.85 × 25 )dollars

                                               = 246.25 dollars

Selling price of 25 shares = (11.22 × 25) dollars

                                           = 280.5 dollars

Selling price > Purchase price

Therefore,

Profit = Selling price - Purchase price

         = 280.5 - 246.25

         = 34.25 dollars

Substitute the value in the formula we get,

Profit percentage = [tex]\frac{34.25}{246.25} (100)[/tex]

                              = 13. 9 percentage ( nearest tenth)
