Question

$2,000 profit is what percent (%) of $6,000 sales price?*

Answer 1

Assuming that y = the percentage

y/100   x    SAles price = Profit

y/100   x    $ 6,000     =   $ 2,000

y          x     $ 60         =    $ 2,000

y                                  = $ 2,000/$ 60

y                                  = 33.3333  % 

Answer 2

$2000 profit is 33.4% (rounded up) as profit of a total sales price of $6,000. This is answered simply by taking the Gross Value of 6000 and dividing it by the net value of 2000. This represents 1/3 of the entire Gross Value which converts into a decimal format of 33.33333 (repeating).
