Question 726564: I am losing money on a project. The costs of the job are $24 366.18 and the revenue is only $6766.17. I am required to make 15% on this project so I need to figure out what is the dollar value of the costs that need to move out of this project to make a revenue margin of 15%.What is the equation I would use to figure this out?
Thank you

If I understand this, they are asking -what amount do I need to subtract
from the cost so that the revenue I made comes out to be the new cost plus 15%

Hope I got it
