Profit rate = profit / cost * 100%. A commodity is sold at 80% of the price, and there is still 20% profit. What is the expected profit rate in the pricing period? The price of goods purchased is called cost, and the price sold is called retail price. Retail price cost is called profit

Profit rate = profit / cost * 100%. A commodity is sold at 80% of the price, and there is still 20% profit. What is the expected profit rate in the pricing period? The price of goods purchased is called cost, and the price sold is called retail price. Retail price cost is called profit

Suppose the cost is C and the expected profit rate is r, then the pricing is C (1 + R)
c(1+r)*0.8=c(1+0.2)
The solution is r = 0.5 = 50%
