In solving this problem, we follow these steps: - Summary: Initial capital: $42,000 Sales revenue: $52,500 Sales revenue = ...% of initial capital Profit: ...% - Procedure: a) Calculate the percentage ratio of the sales revenue to the initial capital by dividing the revenue by the capital, multiplying the result by 100, and adding a percentage sign. b) Consider the initial capital as 100%, find the profit percentage by subtracting 100% from the percentage of profit.
a) Relative to the initial capital, the sales revenue equals: $52,500 : $42,000 = 1.25 = 125% b) Assume the initial capital is 100%. The person has earned a percentage profit compared to the initial capital: 125% - 100% = 25% Answer: a) 125%; b) 25%.
