How much is the cost of a scientific calculator sold for ₱1, 400.00 if the mark-up rate is 35%? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
A
₱1, 370.04
B
₱1, 730.04
C
₱1, 037.04
D
₱1, 703.04
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. For example, if your product costs $50 to make and the selling price is $75, then the markup percentage would be 50%: ( $75 – $50) / $50 = .50 x 100 = 50%.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the cost is $5.00 you add 0.30 × $5.00 = $1.50 to obtain a selling price of $5.00 + $1.50 = $6.50. This is what I would call a markup of 30%. 0.70 × (selling price) = $5.00.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
