1.70 x $240 = ____
That would be the answer for the markup on cost, but the 70% is a markup on selling price not cost.
Formula:
%Markup on cost=%markup on selling price/100% - % markup on selling price
x = 70%/100%-70%
x = 70%/30%
x = 233.333%
cost $240 x (233.33%) = $800
???????????????
Does this seem right?
