    Hello John 🙂

    I am struggling with the question 1.7 because I dont understand how it is calculated the target profit. I dont see this 20% of sales prices on the question.

    Thanks for your help

    There is a mark-up of 25% of cost.
    So for every $100 cost, the profit is $25 and the selling price is $125.

    Or putting it the other way round, for every $125 selling price the profit is $25, which is 25/125 or 20% of selling price.
