Lets just say i had brought a product for $66.56 and made a profit of $733.44, what would the profit % be? and how would you work it out?

This sounds more like a homework question than a theoretical math question. Lets start with what you know. What do you think the first steps would be?

i think maybe one of the steps would be to find out what you have to multiply 66.56 by to gat 100? i don't know.
yeah it does sound like a homework question. maybe if it hadn't been 7 years since i had been there maybe i might know it.

If you buy something for X$ and sell it for X$, your profit is 0%, no lose no gain. If you buy for X$ and sell it for 2X$, your profit is 100%. You can work the rest out.
