Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

the profit made by the shopkeeper would be the difference between the selling price and cost price, which can be found using the equation $15 - $12 = $3.

now, we can find the profit percent using the difference ($3) and the cost price ($12):

$3 ÷ $12 × 100% = 25% (since $3 is 25% of $12, so the $3 increase in price is a 25% increase)

i hope this helps! :D
