           Hi ,
can any one throw some light on the problem mentioned below:-
Sales 350000,Purchases -300000,wages -10000,opening stock is 10000 less then closing stock. Find the gross profit ratio.
I am using the formula : 
Op st. + purchases + wages + gross profit =  Sales + closing stock. Assuming closing stock as y and gross profit as  x which gives me 14.27%. 
But when i substitute the value of x in the equation i am not getting proper answer.
Please guide me as to whether the modus operandi followed by me is correct.
