$$44.25$ , (I'm not sure what currency you're using)

The cost of the aquarium is $$295$ .

You are looking for a $15%$ profit, which means that you will sell the aquarium $115%$ of its original cost because:

$115% ("Cost you're selling it for")-100%("Original cost")=15%("gain")$

So mathematically, you would multiply $1.15 times 295$ to determine the price you sold the aquarium for, which results in $$339.25$

Now you can plug it into the equation above.

$339.25-295= 44.25$

The $15%$ gain is the $$44.25$ .

Hope this helps
