Profit margin is: \text{Margin} = \frac{S - C}{S} \times 100 Inputs are applied in base units, then derived metrics are computed from the same equations and rounded for display.

Notation used in the formulas: R = Selling Price; x_{1} = Cost; x_{2} = Markup Percentage.

Method summary: inputs are normalized to consistent units, core equations are evaluated, then secondary values are derived and rounded for display.
