Given:

Shopkeeper sold goods for $27720 with a profit of 32%.

He sold goods for $23205, and we need to calculate his profit percent.

Calculations:

SP1 = $27720; Profit percent (P) = 32%; SP2 = $23205

\(\dfrac{27720}{CP} =\dfrac{132}{100}\ \)

⇒ CP = Rs. 21000

Profit  = \(\dfrac{23205 - 21000}{21000}× 100\) = \(\dfrac{2205}{21000}× 100\) =  = 10.5%

∴ The profit percent is 10.5%.
