标题: og 34 (yellow book)
A company's two divisions performed with remarkable consistency over the past three years: in each of those years, the pharmaceuticals division has accounted for roughly 20 percent of dollar sales and 40 percent of profits, and the chemical division for the balance.

It was a CR question.  I made a good guess and figured out the answer but I still don't understand the last part of the sentence, "and the chemical division for the balance."

and the chemical division accounted for the balance, say, 80% of sales and 60% of profits.

"balance" means "remainder".

Crystal clear now.  Thanks, =)
