1) The Sales Figure at selling prices.
2) The Cost of Goods at purchasing prices.

Number 1 minus number 2 above
Gives you the GROSS MARGIN
Known as gross profit.

I think the question is regarding contribution margin and not gross margin.

Contribution margin:
Sales
Less: Variable costs of sales (both purchases and sales)
