((sales-cost)/cost)*100percent --------------> working eqn
Profit of Ziehart Pharm:
((178000-58000)/58000)*100
(120000/58000)*100
2.07*100
207% ---------------------------> gross profit Ziehart Pharm.
Profit of Candy Electronics:
((26200-36000)/26200)*100
(9800/26200)*100
0.374*100
37.4% -------------------------> gros profit Candy Electr.
