Sales (simple)=
Variable costs + Contribution Margin
Variable Rate =
Variable costs / Sales
Contribution Rate =
Contribution Margin / Sale or 1 - Variable Rate

Variable Rate + Contribution Rate
Sales $ =
Variable Cost + Contribution Margin
Sales (complicated) =
(Fixed + Profit) / Contribution Rate
