To calculate profit you must find the ratio of the costs.
Find the total amount of profit.
$2.25-$0.75=$1.50 profit
By calculating the ratio (Profit/Cost) then multiplying it by 100 to find percent. The gross profit as a percent is
(1.5/0.75)=2
2x100=200%
the profit on the golf balls is 200% so the answer is (d.)
