Percentage increase in profits 9806 over 8307

Profit =5 000 -2 700=?
As a percentage of sales:
Percentage = 100%*(5000 -2700)/5000=?

That depends on the number of participants in 2005.
If you don't give the full problem then we can't give you an answer. If, for example, 13,000 people commenced in 2005 then the percentage increase is 100%. If 130,000 people commenced in 2005 then the percentage increase is 10%.

That is an unsolveable question. You have to have a Non Zero Starting point in order to calculate a percentage of increase. Black is essentially 0. and no % increase of 0 will bring you anything but 0

3=100%
26=A (the A is the percentage of the this year)
so we make 26*100=3*A
2600=3A
A=2600/3=866.67 (is the percentage of the this year)
and to know the percentage increase (we remove the percentage of the last year (100%) from the percentage of the this year 866.67%
so we get 866.67-100=766.67
so your percentage increase is 766.67%
i wish it helps

Divide 20,000 by 10,000, subtract 1, then multiply by 100 to get 100%.

Percentage change = (new value -old value)/old value * 100%
If result is positive it is an increase. If it is negative it is a decrease
Here
%increase=(500-5)/5*100=9900 %

Gross profit =total revenue -cost of doing business
Gross profit percentage = Gross profit/(Total revenue.)*100%
To increase the gross profit percentage, you decrease the cost of doing business.
Costs= all you have to spend to be able to do business (merchandises, employees' pay, rent of facilities, electric bills, etc.)

Your problem is that of percentage increase.

To calculate that, this is what you do:

Initial amount (Initial amount * percentage) = Percentage increase.

Let us call the initial amount, x.

Then our parameters are:
Initial amount = x
Percentage = 15/100
Final amount = 117300

So,
x (x * 15/100) = 117300
x (15x/100) = 117300
(x/1) (15x/100) = 117300
(100x 15x)/100 = 117300
115x/100 = 117300

cross multiplying
115x * 1 = 117300 * 100
115x = 11730000

dividing both sides by 115

115x/115 = 11730000/115
x = 102000.

So the original amount was $ 102000.

Have a wonderful day.

Answer A:

45 dozen: 12 x 45 = 540

Destroyed: 15% of 540 = 540 x (15/100) = 81

Remaining: 540 - 81 = 459

A profit of 265 means that 459 items must sell at 2700+265=2965 naira or 2965/459=6.46 naira approximately.

Cost per item = 6.46 or 6.5 naira approximately


Answer B:

Cost = 800 naira

8 spoilt. Remaining = 200 - 8 = 192 OR 16 dozen (12x16=192)

Selling price: 60 naira per dozen = 60 x 16 = 960 naira

Profit made (selling price - cost price) = 960 - 800 = 160 naira. Percent profit = Profit/cost x 100 = 160/800 x 100 = 20%

Percentage profit = 20%
