Maybe I'm taking you too seriously, but:

Apple earned $10.7 billion in profits on quarterly revenue of $49.6 billion. That works out to a 22 percent profit margin.

Amazon earned $92 million in profits on quarterly revenue of $23.2 billion. That works out to a 0.4 percent profit margin.

Apple's profit margin for the quarter is thus about 55 times greater than Amazon's.
