A kilo of beef costs ₱420.00 marked up by 25% based on cost. What is the amount of mark-up?
A
₱115.00
B
₱150.00
C
₱105.00
D
₱100.50
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, if a product costs $100, the selling price with a 25% markup would be $125: Gross Profit Margin = Sales Price – Unit Cost = $125 – $100 = $25. Markup Percentage = Gross Profit Margin/Unit Cost = $25/$100 = 25%. Sales Price = Cost X Markup Percentage + Cost = $100 X 25% + $100 = $125.

Detailed explanation-2: -How much is a 25% markup? A 25% markup means that the price of an item to be sold to a customer is 25% higher than the cost to the seller. An item priced at $30 with a 25% markup means the cost to the seller was $24.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simply take the sales price minus the unit cost, and divide that number by the unit cost. Then, multiply by 100 to determine the markup percentage.

Detailed explanation-4: -% of Profit on selling price = (25 * 100)/125 = 20% Was this answer helpful?
