Help with markup and margin

Qquestforknowledge11y ago
Good day John, i dont know if you can help me with this. i have forgottend. if you are given sales revenue say 37,900,000 and are told that markup is 150% of cost. how do you go about to find the cost price thanks you

If cost is $100, then the markup will be $150 and the selling price will be $250. So, for every $250 of sales the cost will be $100. So....if the sales are 37.9M, then the cost will be 100/250 x 37.9M Hope that helps :-)
