From the given that the profit p is T% of sales S, we get \"p+=+%28T%2F100%29S\".
\n" ); document.write( "From the given that the profit p is P% of cost C, we get \"p+=+%28P%2F100%29C\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But p = S - C, so\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> \"p+=+%28100p%29%2FT+-+%28100p%29%2FP\", after direct substitution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> \"1+=+100%2FT+-+100%2FP\", after dividing both sides by p.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> \"100%2FP+=+100%2FT+-+1\", after transposition.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> \"100%2FP+=+%28100-T%29%2FT\", after combining fractions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> \"P%2F100+=+T%2F%28100-T%29\", after reciprocation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> \"P+=+%28100T%29%2F%28100-T%29\", after multiplying both sides by 100.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
