This reminds me of an old joke. 

Once a very wealthy man was asked the secret of his success. He told
the following story. 

Whaen I was a young man and eager to become successful I asked an old
wealthy man the secret of his success. The old man told me, "Buy something,
mark it up 30% and sell it". The next day I spent my last 1 dollar on a 
donkey. I marked it up 30% and sold it for 3 dollars. I have been doing
that sort of thing ever since and now I am a very wealthy man. 

So the moral is "If you want to be wealthy you gotta do the math" ;)
