Question

A store buys an item for $10. To earn a profit of $25, what percent does the store need to markup the item? Show work step by step.

Answer 1

150% 

25-10= 15

15/10 = 1.5

1.5 = 150%

Answer 2

Profit = 25, 
so total price = 10 + 25 = 35
Percentage = 25/10 * 100 = 250%

In short, Your Answer would be 250%

Hope this helps!
