$\text{Profit = Sales - Expenses}$
$\text{Profit percentage} = \left(\dfrac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Sales}}\right)×100$

 Q. Common Information Question: 5/5 The overall profit percentage of all the five companies put together is at least (rounded off to two decimal places):
 ✖ A. 22.22% ✖ B. 33.33% ✔ C. 44.44% ✖ D. 25.25%

Solution:
Option(C) is correct

It is given that all the companies made a profit.

$=\dfrac{\text{sales}}{\text{expenses}}$

or profit percentage:

How can be 8/18? But not 8/10. Profit percentage = profit / sales
