Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2,500,000 * .3 = 750,000

A) 3* 750,000 = 2,250,000

2,500,000*.4 = 1,000,000

B) 2*1,000,000 = 2,000,000

A-B = profit

profit was 250,000

2,500,000 * 5 = 12,500,000  ( total costs )

12,750,00 ( total sales)

what percent is 250,000 of 12,500,000 ?    

250,000 / 12,500,00 = 0.02

this is 2% profit  :/   not so good
