Question 879126: If i invest 35 USD i will get 1000 USD profit, then how much i will get if i invest 5000?
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the ratio of your profit to your investment is equal to 1000 / 35 which can be simplified to 200 / 7.
if you invest 5000, then your profit will be 5000 * 200 / 7 = 142857.1429.
another way to look at is.
your profit margin is equal to your profit divided by your cost.
that would be 1000 / 35 = 28.5714 rounded to 4 decimal places.
that means that each dollar invested yields 28.5714 dollars in profit.
if you invest 5000, you can expect a profit of 28.5714 * 5000 = 142857.
the difference between the ratio method above and the profit margin here is due to rounding. Otherwise they are exactly the same. The profit margin is the ratio of the profit to the cost.
