$4.25 + $2.00 = $6.25

$6.25/3.0 = 2.08
6.25-2.08 = $4.17 

I think that's right- give it a shot

Okay jfcarlucci, but don't markup mean higher than it is already is

anonymous · Answer

I was thinking
($4.25+$2.00)=$6.25

$6.25*3.0=$18.75

anonymous · Answer

If not $18.75, it could possible be $19.00...
$4.25*3.0+$4.25=$17.00+$2.00=$19.00
Any suggestions

It doesn't. It would actually be $2.08.  If your costs are $6.25 and that is a markup of 300%  the cost of that item without the markup is $2.08.

So jfcarlucci with this problem, the markup based on the cost was 300%. What is the corresponding markup based on the selling price?
