NEED HELP WITH FIGURING OUT THE PROFIT % ON A BUSINESS ?

There have been 453 grams in the bruise of lax tea. 1.5 grams of tea creates 1 cup. So 302 cups (453/1.5) can be done from 1 bruise of tea. 1 bruise of tea costs $42. And we sell the tea for $2 the cup. Total income is $604 ($2×302). Your sum income is $562 ($604-$42).

What is the lapse upon investment in conditions of percentage? Please uncover work. Thank you!

ok, since your investment was $42, and your gross income is $562, you need to figure out what percentage 562 is of 42. To do this you divide 562 by 42, which = 13.38095 Now, you move the decimal two places to convert to a percentage, which leaves you with a ROI of 1338.095% Hope this helped.

Your net income is $562. (Your net income is the difference between what you earn from the tea and what you spend on the tea.)

Return on investment/profit % = (net income / cost price) * 100%
= (562 / 42) * 100%
= 1338.1%
