Help a dumb affiliate rep - math question inside

[selena]

This is dumb, and I should know the answer, but it is frying my brain. So



Dick sells Jane a small lot of dildos for $100. Jane sells them on ebay, and her total earnings are $150.

Did Jane have a 50% roi, or a 150% roi?

150 5678

My first thought when I was trying to figure it was 150 too, but then something in my mind says that can't be right.

[baddog]

Nope 50%

You failed to deduct for ebay listing and selling fees and merchant fees if accepting payment by paypal or credit card.

Yes, but just for illustrative purposes, let's say that she has $150 after all expenses.

Thank you very much, I'll be saving that to avoid future brain strain.

lolz .. are you kidding us?

Its 50% dude.

i would think the answer to "ROI" is 150%


being that you got 150 percent of your investment back...


return on investment...

but only 50% profit... of your investment...


so...


im not sure what answer you need either... your bogglement is contagious

50% plus fringe benefits if she used the dildos ...

My initial thought process also.

It's 50%. ROI is the ratio of money gained or lost on an investment relative to the amount of money invested.

$50/$100 = 50% ROI
