For example, in the case of the Germanic tribes that conquered the Western Roman Empire, the rulers adopted, one by one, the religion of the Roman Empire: Christianity, more specifically, the Roman Catholic variant.

They also began to use the language of the Empire: Latin, for ecclessiastical and political matters, and while political institutions did change a lot, some of the political institutions of the Empire did survive in the sucessor states that the Germanic rulers carved out of the Roman territory.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: 26.5% increase

Explanation:

Current profit = Sales - Variable costs - fixed costs
