Benadryl is on sell this week for 20% off of the normal selling price at $10.00 per unit. If the pharmacy purchased Benadryl at $8.00 per unit, what is the gross profit percentage?

I will assume from your poorly worded question that the sale price is $10.00

so if the original is $x
.8x = 10
x = 10/8 = 12.50

Now, do you need the profit percentage before or after the sale?
You decide
yes i do
before
profit = 12.50 - 8.00 = 4.5

percentage profit = 4.5/8 = .5625 or 56.25%
