We have the following equation:

[tex]\text{gross profit = sales - cost of goods}[/tex]

then, in this case we have:

[tex]\text{gross profit = 377000-329000=}48000[/tex]

now we can calculate the gross profit margin with the following equation:

[tex]\text{gross profit margin = }\frac{gross\text{ profit}}{sales}\cdot100[/tex]

then, we have:

[tex]gross\text{ profit margin = }\frac{48000}{377000}\cdot100=12.73[/tex]

therefore, the gross profit margin is 12.73%
