Use the following information to answer this question.
The margin for a business is 2/5 and the cost of sales is $ 120,000.  

The sales value for the business is 

$216,000.
$204,000.  
$ 200,000.
$ 192,000.  

Explanation

\(\frac{2}{3}\) = \(\frac{\text{profit}}{\text{cost}}\) = \(\frac{\text{profit}}{120,000}\)

Profit = \(\frac{2 \times 120,000}{3}\)

= #80,000

Sales = cost + profit

= #120,000 + #80,000

= # 200,000
