Dollar markup
Selling price
Item
Burberry men's watch
Cost
$490
Markup percent
40%

Answer 1

The selling price of the product = $686

The markup of the selling price = 28.5 %

Explanation:

Given that the markup percent is based on the cost of the product.

The cost of Burberry men's watch = $490

Markup percent = 40 %

= 40 % (490) = $196

The new selling price of the product = 196 + 490 = $686

The markup percent of the selling price , (x%)686 = 196

x = 28.5 %

The markup is 28.5 % of the selling price
