Answer:

b. 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of percentage is assigned to Cost of Goods Sold is shown below:-

$ %

Sales $300 $100

Cost of Goods Sold $180 $60 ($180 ÷ $300) × 100

Gross Profit $120 $40 ($120 ÷ $300) × 100

Operating Expenses $45 $15 ($45 ÷ $300) × 100

Net Income $75 $25 ($75 ÷ $300) × 100

Percentage assigned to cost of goods sold = Cost of goods sold ÷ Sales × 100

= $180 ÷ $300 × 100
