Cost Selling price Dollar markup Percent markup on selling price
$15.40 $52.00

Answer 1

70.38%

Step-by-step explanation:

Dollar Markup = Selling price - Cost price

Dollar Markup = $52.00 - $15.40

Dollar Markup = $36.60

% markup on selling price = Dollar Markup / Selling price * 100

% markup on selling price = $36.60/$52.00 * 100

% markup on selling price = 0.703846154 * 100

% markup on selling price = 70.38%
