First, we need to know how much profit in dollar value by this method
profit = percentage × whole price

Plug in the numbers to the formula above
profit = percentage × whole price
profit = 40% × 25
profit = 0.40 × 25
profit = 10
The profit Daniel gets is $10

Second, add the original price and the profit together and you'll find the new price.
new price = original price + profit
new price = $25 + $10
new price = $35

Daniel sold the computer game for $35
