You haven't provided enough information to answer the question. Do you know what the total profit is? Or perhaps the number of units sold?

I answer the first part of the question. It was compute the contribution margin. I did unit sales-unit variable cost= $17.55. Now I'm trying to find the contribution margin ratio. And to do this I think you have to do sales-variable cost/sales. I can't figure out how to find sales. The numbers above is all I'm given though. I was told the answer is 26% but can't figure it out.

On the one after this one it asks for break in point in units and I told to set the profit to 0 so maybe the profit would be 0 for the one I'm trying to do.

You don't need to know the sales volume. Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin per unit divided by sales price per unit:
17.55/68.50 = 25.6%

No - the break-even point is your total fixed cost divided by the contribution margin per unit. You have that data.

The profit and break even aren't related to the contribution margin ratio. (Not directly anyway.) The contribution margin ratio is the CM as a percent of the sales price - as ebaines showed. As long as the sales price and the variable costs per unit do not change, this ratio will remain the same, regardless of anything else. There is nothing in this ratio by itself that says anything about how many units sold, profit, etc. It's just the ratio relationship.

It seems to me you have posted this question at least three different times. This one, the one I see next to it, and another I saw last night where someone already stated that there was insufficient info to answer it.
Please do not keep posting the same question. It confuses people and just takes up more time, making it even longer before people get the answers they want.
Please stay with the original thread someone answered.
