Jim had a very good quarter at his car lot with net sales reaching just over $456,000. this created a net income of $195,000. if jim's operating expenses last quarter were $23,000, what was his gross profit margin?
a.
5.0%
b.
37.7%
c.
42.8%
d.
47.8%

His gross profit margin is 47.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Total sales = $ 456,000

Net income = $ 195,000

Expenses = $ 23,000

⇒ Gross income = Net income + Expenses = $ 195,000 + $ 23,000 = $ 218,000

Since,

Thus, His gross profit margin is 47.8%.

⇒ Option d is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
