Profit=Total revenue - Total cost

Marshall bought 20 refills for a total cost of 50, which means each refill cost him 2.50. If he sold them for 4 each, his total revenue from selling all 20 refills is 80 (20 refills x 4). His profit is calculated as revenue minus cost, which is 80 - 50 = 30. To find the profit percent, divide the profit by the cost and multiply by 100: (30 / 50) x 100 = 60%. Thus, Marshall made a profit of 60%.
The cost of overhead minus the selling price is supposed to be profit. Unfortunately, there are other charges that might eat away at this profit, like advertising, shipping, and display.
