Solution

The problem is asking for the actual profit percent of a shopkeeper who sells his goods at a 4% loss but uses a 44 gm weight instead of a 50 gm. Here's how you can solve it:

Step 1: Find the percentage of weight the shopkeeper is cheating by. He should be using a 50 gm weight but is instead using a 44 gm weight. So, the percentage of weight he is cheating by is ((50-44)/50)*100 = 12%.

Step 2: Calculate the actual profit percent. The shopkeeper sells his goods at a 4% loss. However, he is actually making a profit because he is cheating on the weight. The actual profit percent is the percentage of weight he is cheating by minus the loss percent. So, the actual profit percent is 12% - (-4%) = 16%.

So, the shopkeeper's actual profit percent is 16%.
