iF YOU HAVE A STOCKTURN OF 8 YOU CAN CALCULATE WEEKS COVER BY DIVIDING 52 WKS IN A FY/8=6.5 WKS COVER AND THEN YOU CAN CALCULATE SELL THROUGH % BY 100/WKS COVER =15.38.
mY QUESTION IS WHY DIVIDE "100".
aNY ONE KNOW THE EXPLANATION.

    Where did you see that sell-through percentage = 100 / weeks-cover?

    This was taught to me many moons ago by a retailer that i worked for,please do the maths in works.
    Just cant remember why you divide by 100/6.5 wks=15.38 sell thru.so to get back to your stockturn of 8 you take sell thru multiplied by 52wks and divide by 100.So you see the calculation works.Just need the explanation

    You divide BY 100 to turn the ratio into a percentage. You said you were dividing weeks-cover INTO 100.
