Article: For example, if you made $200 selling 100 cans of soda and the cost of the goods sold was $100, then your gross profit would be $100. Multiply the number by 100 to get a percentage, rather than a decimal. For example, divide $100 by $100 and the figure is 1. If you multiply it by 100, you get a gross profit percentage of 100 percent.

Article: Place the sharp edge of the blade against the pencil about an inch above the lead. Hold the knife so that the blade is horizontal to the pencil, but tilted back so that the back side of the blade is closer to you. Use the thumb on the hand that is holding the pencil to push the blade through the wood. Reduce the pressure on the blade as it meets the marking core. Do not force the blade with the knife hand at any point. Rotate the pencil slowly and consistently with each stroke of the blade. Maintain the angle of the blade throughout the cut. Use both thumbs to push on the back of the blade if you need to. When using two thumbs, push especially slowly and with particular care. The strips of wood should be thin enough to ribbon or curl as they separate from the pencil. Try to move the pencil forward after you complete a cut, as opposed to moving the blade backward. This may feel more comfortable. In between cuts, reposition the knife and pencil relative to one another however you'd like, but do so in a consistent manner. Place the blade the same distance from the tip as the previous cut. You want a very long point that tapers from the beginning of your cuts to a very sharp point at the very tip of the marking material. The longer the taper is, the stronger the tip. Remember, the shallower the angle of the blade, the longer the taper.

Position the blade at a shallow angle. Cut small strips of wood from the pencil. Reposition the blade on the pencil. Taper the wood up to the core.

Boiling the water that you will be using for your tea is also the best way to disinfect and purify the water. You will also need a container to boil the water in, ideally made of metal. If you do not have a container, then you will need to search the area for something made from metal, glass, or clay that you can use to boil water. Collect about 3 cups of water and purify it by adding chlorine or ozone. If you don't have these purifiers, make a fire and boil the water for at least 10 minutes before using. If you can't start a fire, let the willow bark soak in the water for at least an hour. Keep in mind that even though wilderness water can be purer in many ways than other water, it does contain various parasites. Boiling water or using a purifier is the best approach to protect yourself from these parasites. If you are in an area where giardia (a parasite found in water) is present, or may be present, make certain you follow the correct purification procedure. Giardia can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms that may cause abdominal pain and may also cause you to become severely dehydrated. After the water has started to boil, add the strips of willow bark to the water. Use about one tablespoon of willow bark per cup of water. Allow the willow bark to simmer for five to 10 minutes and then remove it from the fire.
