You mark things up with percentages. Example your $200.00 item X 25% would be $50.00 dollars. If you want to make $25.00 on an item you payed $200.00 for then you would divide the $25.00 dollars by $200.00 which would equal .125 or 12.5%. When you multiply 12.5% by $200 your answer would be $25.00!

I was told that you should divide the cost of an item by .75 for a 25 perc. margin. However this result is different from a 25 markup. What is the difference between a percentage markup and a margin?
Margin is the percentage of profit based on sales price while mark-up is the percentage gain based on cost. A 25% mark-up results in a 20% margin. For example, an item costs $80. You mark it up 25% (80 x 1.25) and you selling price is $100. A profit of $20 is 20% of $100 so you have a 20% margin. Similarly, a 50% mark-up will result in a 33% margin. To calculate the selling price at a given margin, you have the correct formula. You divide the cost by 1 minus the margin percentage. So, if you want a 25% margin, your cost will be 75% of the selling price. So you take cost divided by .75 to arrive at the price. If you want a 30% margin, divide your cost by .7 which is (1 - .3).
What is the difference in buying spa products at wholesale and retail price?
There is a large difference between wholesale and retail prices for any product. Wholesale price are much lower so the retailer is able to markup the price and make a profit off the sale of the item.
If an item in a retail store is mistakenly placed on a Sale table by a customer or staff then someone wants to buy that item is there a law that states that that item must be sold at the sale price?
I have had the same situation where i found an item on a sale table but when i checked, it was placed there in error. The law applies to an item that is priced as on sale or has a sign that specifics a sale. The item must be sold by law at the price indicated even if in error.
What is the markup percentage on furniture?
Most retailers look to reach what is known as keystone price, which is a 50% gross margin of the ELC or estimated landing cost. The estimated landed cost includes the price from the manufacturer plus the freight cost to get it to the retail location. For instance an item costs $45 to produce, $5 in freight the ELC is $50. the keystone retail of the item would be $100. There is a lot of variety in the gross margin depending on the type of retailer.. Wholesale clubs like Costco and SAMs work of a 12 to 17% gross margin. Big box mass works between 35 and 50 %. Specialty retailers work from between 50 and 75%.

If James gross profit mark up is 25 percent then his margin on sales will be 20 percent.Yes Or No?
No, gross profit and markup are two different things. Gross profit is expressed as a percentage of the sales price, and markup is expressed as a percentage of the cost. For example the Gross Profit on something that costs $100 that is being sold for $143 is 30% GP. The markup on that same item is 43%. Bottom line, you can't have a "gross profit markup". There's a Gross Profile Margin, and a Markup.
How can I find out about a markup calculator?
A markup calculator is used to work out the final retail cost of an item if you know the price it was bought for and the percentage markup (how much profit) you want to make. There are online calculators which can do this automatically for you, or you can just use a normal calculator: for example, if you buy something for 100 and want to make 20% profit, the final price should be 100*1.2 = 120.

Is it possible for a markup to be 200 percent?
If the customers will still buy it, why not? If a storekeeper buys an item from a supplier for $10.00, and sells it for $20.00, the markup would be 200%. * * * * * Not true. The value of the mark up in the above example is $10.00 which, given a cost of $10.00, is a 100% mark up. A 200% mark up of an item costing $10.00 would entail a "profit" of $20.00 giving a total price of $30.00
