    £243,700

    Be aware, I’m not 100% sure.

    Inventories increased by 22,500, so we must have purchased this amount.

    Sales revenue = 276,500
    Markup of 25%
    Cost = 221200 *

    Inventory + Sales at cost = 243,700

    *
    276500 / 1.25 = 221,200
    (If 125% = 276500, then 100% = 221,200)
