$\huge\orange{\underline {\mathscr{A}}} \orange{\underline {\mathbb {\green{ns}}}} \orange{\underline {\mathfrak \red{we}}}\orange{\underline \bold \pink{r}}$

$20.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Shoppers buy a 12 Ib turkey for money = $15.

Profit percent the shopkeepers want = 35%

SP with 35 % profit = [(100+35)/100] × 15

= (135/100) × 15 = $20.25
