    2) For every $100 in sales, $19 ended up in Net Income.

    Explanation:

    The Profit Margin is determined as the ratio between net income and revenue.

    In Penelope's Candy Store, revenue is given by the gross amount received from sales. The net income is the amount that remains from sales after taxes and expenses are deducted.

    Therefore, a 19% profit margin means that for every $100 in sales, $19 ended up in Net Income.
