Explanation / Answer

Most recent year is Dec 31, 2017.

Total sales revenue of the year 2017 is $177,866.

Cost of the goods sold of the year 2017 is $111,934.

Gross profit of the year 2017 = Total sales revenue - Cost of goods sold

= $177,866 - $111,934

= $65,932

Gross profit percentage of the year 2017 = (Gross profit / Total sales revenue)×100

= ($65,932 / $177,866)×100

=0.3707×100

= 37.07%
