The question always makes it clear which. A margin % is a % of selling price, a mark-up % is a % of cost. This is explained in our free lectures on target costing (and if you need to revise from F3, then our F3 lectures on mark-ups and margins) - I cannot type out all the lectures here :-) Our free lectures for Paper F5 cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
