Practice assessment 2 - Task 8 (b) (ii)

Hi All
If total cost per unit is £12.75 and selling price is £17 and the question is, how many units need to be sold to make a profit of 25%.
The answer is 25,217, but can anyone explain how they came to 25,217 units needing to be sold to get a 25% profit margin?
I see that they need to make £428,689 (£17 x 25,217 units) to cover costs and profit.
If 25% of this is profit (£107,172) and the remaining 75% is costs (£321,517 £12.75 x 25,217 units)
But how did they do the calculation to work this out?

They have only given me the below, but the 25,217 x £12.75 total cost per unit covers the fixed costs and variable costs.
must have been asleep! :-)
Glad you found where it all fits together.
