A dealer bought $n$ radios for $d$ dollars, $d$ a positive integer.  He contributed two radios to a community bazaar at half their cost.  The rest he sold at a profit of $8 on each radio sold.  If the overall profit was $72, then the least possible value of $n$ for the given information is:
$\textbf{(A)}\ 18\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 16\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 15\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 12\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 11$
The first $2$ radios are sold for $\frac{d}{2}$ dollars each, for income of $2 \cdot \frac{d}{2}$, or simply $d$.
The remaining $n-2$ radios are sold for $d+8$ dollars each, for income of $(n-2)(d+8)$, which expands to $nd +8n -2d - 16$.
The amount invested in buying $n$ radios for $d$ dollars is $nd$.
Thus, the total profit is $(d) + (nd - 2d + 8n - 16) - nd$, which simplifies to $8n - d - 16$.
Setting this equal to $72$ gives $8n - d - 16 = 72$, or $n = 11 + \frac{d}{8}$.
Since $n$ must be an integer, $d$ must be a multiple of $8$.  If we want to minimize $n$, we want to minimize $d$.  Since $d>0$, setting $d=8$ yields $n=12$, giving the answer of $\fbox{D}$
