    Dear sir,
    The wording is kinda tricky when the sentence includes “mark-up”
    Is it any difference between “20% mark-up on all sales” and ” 20% mark-up of sales price”

    No question will ever say “20% mark-up on sales” nor will a question ever say “20% mark-up on sales price”

    Mark-up is always expressed as a percentage increase based on cost price

    Margin is a percentage that is based on the sales price or revenue (where you’re working on total figures)

    OK?
