The shopkeeper purchased a pen for 50 and sold it for 8,470, resulting in a profit of 8,420. The profit percentage is calculated as (Profit / Cost Price) × 100, which equates to (8,420 / 50) × 100 = 16,840%. This indicates an exceptionally high profit margin, suggesting a significant markup from the original purchase price.
