Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Multiply the original price by 0.2 to find the amount of a 20 percent markup, or multiply it by 1.2 to find the total price (including markup). If you have the final price (including markup) and want to know what the original price was, divide by 1.2.

Detailed explanation-3: -Markup percentage is calculated by dividing the gross profit of a unit (its sales price minus its cost to make or purchase for resale) by the cost of that unit. If an item is priced at $12 but costs the company $8 to make, the markup percentage is 50%, calculated as (12 – 8) / 8.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simply add the cost of goods to the result of multiplying the cost of goods / services by the markup rate. For example, with a rate of 40% and a cost of $100, the markup price is simply $100 + $100 + 40% = $100 + $100 * 0.4 = $100 + $40 = $140 which is the price with markup included.
