Question

You sell $1,500 per week of baseball bats at 30% margin. you sell $1,200 of baseball gloves at 40% margin. which generates more total margin for you?

Answer 1

To determine the margin that is generated from the sales of the baseball bat and the gloves, we simply have to multiply the amount with the decimal equivalents of the given percentages.

baseball bats:

Margin = ($1,500)(0.30) = $450

baseball gloves:

Margin = ($1,200)(0.40) = $480

From the calculated values, the sales from the baseball gloves gave a greater margin.

Answer: baseball gloves
