So you take the price u start with 45 Divide by 100 .45 Multiply by percent increase or decrease .45 x 35 = 15.75 Add or subtract to original price (add if mark up, subtract if mark down) 45 + 15.75 = $60.75
$45...............100% x...................35% x= 35*45 x=1575 x= 15.75 100 100 x+$45= ? $15.75+$45 = $60.75
To find the selling price after a 35% markup on an item costing $45, calculate the markup amount, which is $15.75. Then, add this amount to the original cost, resulting in a selling price of $60.75.
