Question

SnowPants for the children’s department cost $27.60 each. If a 54% markup is required, what minimum retail would achieve this markup?

Answer 1

$42.51

Step-by-step explanation:

markup percentage = (selling price - cost) / cost

54% = (selling price - $27.60) / $27.60

54% x $27.60 = selling price - $27.60

$14.904 = selling price - $27.60

selling price = $42.504 ≈ $42.51 we must round up since we are looking for the price that would yield the markup %, if we round down, then the markup % would be slightly below 54%
