    Lake Co has operating gearing of 160%. it calculates operating gearing by dividing contribution by operating profit.

    How much will LAke Co’s operating profit fall by if its sales volume reduces by 20%.

    In the answer given, the operating profit was divided by the contribution.
    but in the question, it states that the operating gearing was calculated by dividing contribution by operating profit.

    What am I missing?

    It clearly states

    Lake Co has operating gearing of 160%. It calculates operating gearing by dividing
    contribution by operating profit.
    How much will Lake Co’s operating profit fall by if its sales volume reduces by 20% (to
    the nearest whole %)?
    ____________ %
