Problema Solution

Mary buys 8 widgets for $40.00. She adds $1.00 in enhancements to each widget and sells them for $9.00 each. What is Mary's estimated gross profit margin?

Answer provided by our tutors

total revenue = 8*9


total revenue = $72


total cost of goods = 40 + 8*1


total cost of goods = $48


gross profit = total revenue - total cost of goods


gross profit = $72 - $48


gross profit = $24


gross profit margin = gross profit/total revenue


gross profit margin = 24/72


gross profit margin = 0.3333 or 33.33%
