Best Answer

Sales of $116,000 - Cost of Goods Sold $38,000 = Gross Profit $78,000

32.759%

To get the percentage Divide Cost of Goods Sold / Sales = Gross Profit Percentage

$38,000 / $188,000 = 0.327586206

Round to 0.32759 and convert to a percentage by moving the decimal two places to the right. 32.76%

To check our answer we multiply Sales * Gross Profit % = Gross Profit

$116,000 * 32.759% = $38,000.44 (approx. round to nearest dollar)

Numbers are rounded to nearest dollar, percents are rounded to the nearest hundred thousandths (most companies round to four decimal places, but to get a more accurate amount, I chose to round to five)
