Question about

Margin question

Hi, 

Why are we considering only 10% margin and not 30% of gross profit margin?

Thanks

As the case states: “Margins after marketing expenses are on average 10%.” So, we need to consider this in our calcs.

Make sense? Or are you confused as to why we're including marketing expenses in the first place?

I am confused about why they only apply 10% margin and they do not apply 30% as well. Shouldn't it be revenues*30%*10%? Many thanks
