Amount of sales of newspapers for the month of January = $8341.50
Percentage of profit for which the newspaper is sold = 0.5%
Then
Amount of profit made in the month of January = 0.5% * 8341.50 dollars
= (0.5/100) * 8341.50 dollars
= 4170.75/100 dollars
= 41.707 dollars
= 41.71 dollars
So the shop makes a profit of $41.71 in the month of January by selling newspapers worth $8341.50. I hope the procedure is perfectly clear for you to understand.
