Waymon co. has net sales of $100,000, cost of goods sold of $70,000, and operating expenses of $18,000. what is its gross profit?
profit is equal to gains - losses. In this case it would be
100,000-70,000-18,000=profit=$12,000
Let
P-------> the profit
N------> the net sales
C-----> cost of goods
O-----> operating expense
we know that
\(P=N-(C+O)\)
in this problem
\(N=\)$@@MATH_TOKEN_2@@
@@MATH_TOKEN_3@@$\(70,000\)
\(O=\)$@@MATH_TOKEN_6@@
Substitute the values in the formula above to find the Profit

therefore
the answer is
the Gross Profit is equal to $\(12,000\)
