Answer 1

C

Explanation:

The markup is the difference between the Selling Price and Cost.

As a percentage, we would get the markup in terms of cost.

First,

Selling Price = 4.50

Cost = 3.00

So,

Markup = SP - Cost = 4.50 - 3.00 = 1.50

As a percentage, we would divide the markup by cost and then multiply the answer by 100. That's:

1.50/3 = 0.5 * 100 = 50%

The markup is 50%

C is the correct answer.
