How do I calculate Gross Profit Percentage (GPP) on goods I sell?

I've tried google but it has confounded my limited maths skills.

I want to calculate GPP on goods. I have the cost of the goods, the sale price, the gross profit, but I don't remember how to get the GPP figure.

Cost : $5.00
Sale : $12.00
Profit : $7.00
GPP = ?

I know this is really simple, but I can't remember how it's done and I really need to get it right.

Best answer: GPP = Profit/Sale = 7/12 = 58.3%
