\"Cost=400kg%2A0.75=300\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Sellable=400kg%2A%281-.08%29=400kg%2A.92=368kg\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"CostPerSellable=300%2F368=0.81522\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"ProfitPercentageOnCost=%28SalesPrice-Cost%29%2FCost\"
\n" ); document.write( "To obtain a 75% profit on cost, you would then plug your cost and solve for the sales price.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.75=SalesPrice%2F0.81522-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.75=SalesPrice%2F0.81522\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.75%2A0.81522=SalesPrice\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"SalesPrice=1.4266\"=$1.43
\n" ); document.write( "
