Answer 1

Answer:

Gross profit Margin  37.41%

Explanation:

The gross profit margin is the quotient between the gross profit and the sales:

$\frac{gross \: profit}{sales} = gross profit margin$

$\frac{11,406.9 - 7,139.7}{11,406.9} =\\\frac{4,267.2}{11,406.9}$

Gross profit Margin 0,374089 = 37.41%
